A member asked:

My left eye have being tearing for 3weeks. i stop wearing contacts lenses but is still the same. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doc: You may have conjunctival irritation (pink eye) or a more serious issue. Possible trauma from the contact lens. I would not delay a visit to see a doc because it may be more than the eye can meet by your description.
