Maybe its a type of face cream or lotion that you have reacted to. it could also be makup. Avoid applying any product around your eye area as it is very sensitive. you should wash your eyes regularly, especially after going out due to bacteria, dust, dirt... or go doctors! It could be because you are short sighted and when you look aat things from far you can see it blurry. Therefore, the best thing you can do is either get glasses or have an operation Your eyes water to keep the eyeball clean. It is a natural defence your body has. If they are watering there maybe something in the eye and your system is trying to clear the foreign body. The tear ducts may not be working properly could be blocked or something else. A number of things can cause eyes to become over watery. One is foreign objects. Eyelashes, dirt and debris can slip past your lashes and into you eyes easily. Allergies can cause watery eyes as well. Check outside you home and work for pollen, new flowers, trees and pets. New allergies can also occur to check with a doctor. There could be many reasons for your watering eyes. The most obvious reason would be allergies. This can be remedied with an antihistamine. Your eyes also could be watering due to an irritant. You may have come into contact with a chemical or other substance. If this is the case, your eyes could be watering to flush out the irritant. One possibility is that this is an allergic reaction to something in your local environment. Take Benadryl to test this possibility. It may also be a reaction to too bright lights in the room. Try dimming the lights to see if this solves the problem. If you wear contacts, that may be the cause.

Depends. It could be an allergy, viral infection (ie: Cold), or simply the result of, as you mentioned, using digital devices. In the first two the eye will stop watering on its own as your body fights off the illness. If this is the cause a good antihistimine should help. Though if not, it would be pointless. If you have any other symptoms, ie: Runny or stuffy nose, sinus pressure, cough, sore throat, congestion and so on -- I would look into this. If not,.. The very act of using digital devices for extended periods drastically lowers the 'blink' rate. Basically we blink alot less when we are at the computer, video games, television and so on. This causes the eye to dry out. When our eyes are drying out they will compensate with an over production of tears. If this is the cause, lay off the devices, and when you do use them make a concerted effort to blink much more. Take breaks every 20 minutes to look around and blink or close your eyes a minute or so to keep the strain and dryness at bay. Take care,
