See your doctor.: There are many possible causes of this symptom, ranging from eyestrain, to allergic conjunctivitis, to more serious issues. Your doctor can help you find the diagnosis, often just by physical exam, and suggest treatment options.

Tearing: Most common cause especially when reading would be ocular lubrication "dry" eye syndrome. Wrong eyeglass prescription could also be a problem.
