Why do my eyes water a couple of minutes after i wake up every morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are dry: It is likely that your eyes are drying out during the night and they are making a flood of tears to re-wet themselves upon awakening. Use a night-time lubricating ointment or gel at bedtime to reduce the awaking tears.
