Brief Answer: This can be because of dryness of eye. Detailed Answer: Hello Welcome to Health care Magic I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye. It seems from the history that your wife has undergone LASIK surgery 3 months back and she is having the problem of watering in one eye and she is on treatment with Vesoret. Watering in the late post operative period is usually because of reflex secretion of tears as a result of dryness caused by LASIK surgery. This is a common problem and no need to worry as it can be treated easily. The treatment is by use of artificial tears like refresh tears. Vesoret is a antioxidant and she can use it along with artificial tears. Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you. Thank you
