A member asked:
The area of the left eye, prominently the corner where mucus comes out, seems to be irritated/slightly painful when i blink. what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflamed tear duct: Tears and eye discharge normally drain from the inner corner of the eye into the sinuses, but sometimes can get blocked or inflamed. If not red or swollen, try gentle warm compress to area and gentle massaging pressure to see if you can free up any fluid buildup. If redness or worsening pain, please see a general or eye health provider.

Hello, I have had my left eye watering constantly for perhaps a week now, and wiping away tears/discharge has now irritated the skin around my eye. Also, it has been painful to press on the inside corner of my eye for quite a few weeks, and I am unsure if this is related. I thought this could be allergies as my head does feel stuffy intermittently, but my new red eye socket (not the eye itself) has motivated me to ask. Thanks, Logan Left Eye Watering?
