Comprehensive Eye Care, Dry Eye
It might seem strange, but watery eyes can actually be a symptom of dryness. When your eyes become dry or irritated, your body responds by producing a flood of reflex tears. Unfortunately, these tears are mostly water and don’t contain the natural oils and mucus needed to keep your eyes properly lubricated. As a result, your eyes may still feel gritty, itchy, or uncomfortable — even as they water.
Persistent watery eyes could point to chronic dry eye disease or meibomian gland dysfunction, both of which can be effectively treated by an eye care specialist.
If your eyes can’t stop watering, it’s time to get to the root of the problem — schedule a dry eye evaluation with Southwest Eye Care today.
