A member asked:

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?
