Tearing: The eye drains into the nose. If it is inflamed then the eye will tear. Try a nasal steroid, a prescription from the doc. If this is not successful am eye doctor will check the draining apparatus from the eye to the nose. Some ear nose and throat doctors do this kind of work as well. See a doctor and they will investigate the issue. Good luck and good health !

A few possibilities: This could be due to allergies, dry eyes, or eye infections. All can start or affect 1 eye first. The treatments are very different. For allergies, zaditor (ketotifen) is a good otc eye medicine. For dry eyes, lubricating tears are necessary. For infection, usually of the eyelids, start with eyelid warm compress and diluted baby shampoo scrubs. You should have a baseline exam with your eye doctor.
