A member asked:

Can tears heal sore, itchy, and watery eyes?

Possibly: Tears are nature's cleaner. They wash irritants off the surface of the eye. That is one reason we water when something gets in the eye. But tears alone will not heal the root cause of itching or sore eyes. An eye doctor can evaluate the reason for the irritation and provide treatment options for you.
