Many of our patients present with a complaint of “teary/watery” eyes. A thorough eye examination is necessary for the evaluation of underlying causes. Anatomically, tears in our eyes are produced by 3 glands:
Tears drain the eyes through a channel called the lacrimal punctum into the lacrimal sac and further into the nasolacrimal duct. One can experience teary/watery eyes due to 4 main causes:
Infants can sometimes experience teary eye. This symptom is most commonly due to obstruction at the end of nasolacrimal duct (valve of Hesner). As the tears stay stagnant in the nasolacrimal duct, potential for infections also remains. Most cases resolve with hydrostatic/lacrimal massage but some require minor surgical interventions.
It is strongly advised to get any of the eye symptoms evaluated by your eye care physician. Symptoms can overlap and hence it is important to diagnose the underlying cause.
