Question 2

why do my eyes water a couple of minutes after i wake up every morning?

They are dry: It is likely that your eyes are drying out during the night and they are making a flood of tears to  re-wet themselves upon awakening.  Use a night-time lubricating ointment or gel at bedtime to reduce the awaking tears.

Question 6

why do my eyes constantly water when i have a cold or allergy attack?

Accepted Answer

Nerve interaction: There are connections between the nasal sensory nerves and the lacrimal glands that produce tears.  Therefore anything that irritates or inflames the nose induces tear production.  That explains the reduced tearing when nasal steroids are used to treat allergy.  The steroids reduce the allergy response and nasal inflammation  with less tearing.  Oral and topical antihistamines will reduce itching.

Question 7

why do allergies make my eyes water?

Accepted Answer

Immune reactions: The conjunctiva, the thin membrane on the inner surface of the eyelids and the white part of the eye, has lots of mast cells, which are the cells that react to allergens. So just as you get an allergic reaction in the nose, you get an allergic reaction in the eye as well. The eye is also connected to the nose through a small duct, and sometimes allergens can travel back and forth.

Question 8

how come my eyes water?

Accepted Answer

See eye doctor: Try using artificial tears four times a day because many times the eyes water when they are dry as an overcompensation.  If no relief, see eye doctor because the drain duct could be clogged.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Allergens/irritants: People who are allergic to pollens, molds, animals and dust mites can have red, itchy eyes. Tobacco smoke, chlorine in swimming pools and irritants, such as onions can also cause watery eyes.

Question 10

what causes your eyes to water?

Accepted Answer

Tearing: Tearing is most often due to reflex tearing due to ocular irritation.  This is often due to allergies, dry eye, blepharitis, rosacea, foreign body, and many other causes.  Try artificial tears, warm compresses and ointment at night.  If no improvement or worsening, see an eye doctor.  Tearing can also be related to blocked tear drainage system.Which needs further evaluation as well.
