Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having watering in eyes. This can be because of hyper secretion of tears or obstruction to the normal flow of tears as in. Dacryocystitis.
This can be found out by a simple test like lacrimal syringing.
Hence I advice you to do this test and depending on the result the treatment can be planned.
Thank you
