Hello, I have for a few years now been experiencing the awful inconvenience of my eyes watering profusely when I step outside. I am 16 years old and this causes me great embarrassment and annoyance on a daily basis. I find that due to the copious amount of tears from my eyes causes the outer corner to become red, stinging and sensitive which is so unpleasant ! I am aware watering eyes is common but am yet to receive much information on how to lessen or preferably get rid of the problem altogether.

I am getting to a desperate stage as to how I stop this so any help would be wonderful. Also note that my eyes water whether or not it is windy and sunglasses is a solution which does not combat this problem for me personally.

Thank you so much,

Lauren.

    I agree, go and see your doctor or an Optometrist.  

    What country are you in Lauren?

    Have you discussed this with your parents?  

    If you use makeup on your eyes, stop using it for a few weeks & see if that helps but do consult a preofessional.  You only have one pair of eyes, look after them.

    Good luck.

      Thanks for your advice!

      I am in Ireland and have spoken to my parents about it, yes. Again, thanks for the feedback.

      Hi Lauren, I have just suddenly remembered my own problems & when I had constantly watering eyes, it was because the manufacturer of the washing liquid I used, had changed the ingredients & I was allergic to an ingredient.

      You may have to play detective now, it could be that your mum has changed the product that she uses to wash the clothes, or, it could be that the manufacturer has changed something.

      You will have to look at anything that goes near your face.

      Good luck.

    Hi Lauren

    I agree that you really do need to see a dr. The possibilities of the cause are many. For example you my have a blocked tear duct hover this usually causes excruciating pain.

    The only way to find out what is wrong is to start with an eye examination but by a qualified ophthalmologist. 

    Even go to emergency eye clinic if u have one nearby.

    Good luck.
