Dry eyes: Tearing eyes in the edlerly are often a results of dry eyes- sounds crazy but true. Treatment would be a full eye exam by an opthamologist, but starting a natural trear replacement is safe and may be effective. Obstruction of the tear ducts may be possbile, but is less common. Allergies are another culprit. A full exam would determine what the source is.
