How to treat watery eyes?

If your eyes are always tearing up, you should pay attention to whether it is affected by external factors, such as the stimulation of cold air or wind, if the tear duct is blocked, or if there are some chronic inflammations in the eyes, such as conjunctivitis, trachoma, and trauma, the symptoms of constant tearing may appear, so symptomatic treatment is required.

1. Influenced by external factors

Some patients may secrete tears reflexively due to external stimulation of the tear glands, such as cold air or wind, resulting in increased tearing. Excessive tears cannot be discharged from the tear duct in time and flow out of the eyelids, causing tearing.

Treatment: This is purely a physiological tearing phenomenon. If the external stimulation factors are removed, this symptom will disappear, so no treatment is needed.

2. Tear drainage disorder

The tear secretion volume is normal, the tear duct is unobstructed, the flushing is unobstructed, but the orbicularis oculi is loose, the tear pump function is weakened or disappears, causing tear discharge obstruction and tearing.

Treatment: This case is functional tear sac mucosa, and the tear drainage function should be strengthened.

3. Chronic eye inflammation

Eye problems such as conjunctivitis, trachoma, trauma, foreign bodies, tumors, etc. can cause the tear duct to be narrowed, the tear duct to be incompletely blocked, and the tear drainage function to be reduced. The normal amount of tears secreted cannot completely flow into the nasal cavity and flow out of the eyelids, resulting in tearing.

Treatment: This situation is organic tearing, and tears will occur even indoors. You should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

4. Tips on eye protection

Avoid operating the computer continuously for long periods of time and take breaks in between. Usually operate continuously for 1 hour, take a break for 5 to 10 minutes, and maintain a good working posture. Adopt the most appropriate posture, with your eyes looking level or slightly downward at the monitor. This will relax your neck muscles and minimize the area of ​​your eyeballs exposed to the air.

Create and maintain good working conditions. The ambient light should be soft, the display brightness should be appropriate, the clarity should be good, and the height of the desk and chair should match the height of the computer.
