What does it mean if my tears fall from only one eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blocked drainage: There is a plumbing system, the lacrimal outflow tract, which drains excess tears from the eye into the nose. If you have tear overflow on one side only and that eye is not inflammed as a cause of excess tears, then you may have some blockage. Check with your ophthalmologist who has good testing for this in the office.
