How To Treat An Excessively Watering Eye?
I have been chkd for a blocked tear duct & that is not it. I have used the recommended moisturizing eye drops. My left eye still waters excessively & almost constantly. It has been suggested I try a month of antibiotics but I am leary of that. What other treatments are there? Now I see what a scam this is. You should have been upfront abt wanting to charge instead of acting like it was just part of the web md app. Shame on you.

You are suffering from epiphora,blocking of duct. If dialatation of punctum and syringing done then it can be diagnosed that block is present or not. If injected water is passing to nose then there is no block. Other reason can be invertion or exvertion of lid margin which disturbes the alignment of punctum. If it is present then surgical correction is requiered. For this consultation with an eye doctor isrequired.
