Many causes: Tearing can be a symptom of allergies, infection, inflammation, foreign body, systemic disease, and drainage malfunction to name a few causes. Differentiating among the causes can direct an appropriate treatment plan. Get an eye exam by an ophthalmologist to determine the cause of your tearing.

Blocked tear duct: Tearing can occur from a variety of different conditions. Dry eye or tear dysfunction can cause irritation resulting in secondary tearing. Irritation of the lids (blepharitis), lid malposition or blocked tear duct can lead to excessive tearing. If the tears run down your cheek (epiphora) you need to be seen by your eyecare professional to determine the cause.

Need eval: You may have tear duct occlusion which may need to be evaluated. Increase tearing could also happen from dryness, allergy or irritation.

My left eye has been tearing now for four days, its just constant and really annoying me. What can I do to stop it?
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?
