What Does Itchy Watery Eyes Indicate?

Sometimes I have uncomfortable itchy watery eyes, my eyelids are swollen and they can be itchy in the corners. The water seems to be coming from the tops of my eyelids, my gp thinks its from tiredness and stress. I hope you can help me, because it is making me very conscious of myself and insecure TThanks.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having itchy and watery eyes with itching of the eyelids. This indicates allergic condition of the eyes in the form of allergic blepharoconjunctivitis.
The treatment of the condition is by use of a antiallergic eye drops like olpatadine. Non responding or severe cases may require use of steroid eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
