Specializes in Ophthalmology

Need more details: About his prescriptions, whether he has other conditions that could cause watering eye, whether he got single vision or progressive glasses, who made them, etc. The first step is to go back to the optician. Then back to the prescribing doctor. Then a second opinion eye md visit.

Tearing: Most likely a nasal lacrimal duct obstruction, which will only be correctable through a surgery. Possibly also due to dry eyes! the eye produces excess "reflex" tearing due to the dryness. He can try artificial tears 4 times a day, otherwise see an ophthalmologist for evaluation and recommendations.
