A member asked:

Tears in eyes when glasses are taken out. does need to show to eye specialist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Glasses: The lenses protect your eyes from wind and debris. Take glasses off and your eyes get dry quicker. Use some lubricating eye drops like refresh or systane as needed. Yes tearing can be a sign that your eyes are dry!
