Hello Doctor, Do you have any other symptom/s other than watering from eyes? Tear over-secretion is usually caused by irritation or inflammation of the surface of the eye. This can occur for a number of reasons, including eyelash and eyelid problems or allergies. Oddly, a dry eye problem can sometimes cause watery eyes, because the eye produces excess tears to combat the irritation and dryness. Watery eyes can also occur when the eye?s tear drainage channels can?t drain a normal volume of tears. This can be caused by a blocked tear drainage duct, narrow or displaced tear drainage openings, or lax eyelids causing the normal tear drainage ?pump? (usually activated by blinking) to fail. Medication: Use Euphrasia eye drops 2-3 times a day and orally take Euphrasia 30/ 3 times a day for 2 weeks. As you also know Hb A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate increased risk of diabetes, and levels of 6.5% or higher indicate diabetes.
