Watery eyes, also known as epiphora, occur when tears overflow onto the face instead of draining properly. While occasional watery eyes are familiar, persistent tearing can be uncomfortable and interfere with daily activities. At Rostami OPC, our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating watery eyes to relieve and restore optimal eye health.
What are Watery Eyes?
Watery eyes develop when there is an imbalance in tear production in the lacrimal glands or tears drain improperly. Tears are crucial in keeping the eyes lubricated, removing debris, and protecting against infections. However, tears accumulate and overflow when the tear ducts fail to drain correctly. Several factors can contribute to why patients produce too many tears, including blocked tear ducts, allergies, environmental factors, eyelid abnormalities, and eye infections like pink eye.
“So far so good! I didn’t know what to expect from day one. I was nervous.but from the moment I walked in. But, there was warmth in the atmosphere and in all honesty the nurse makes it prominent. She is personable and easy to talk to. When I met Dr Davidson I felt he was legitimately answering my questions and addressing my issues with genuine honesty and concern. Will be returning!!”
Candidates for Watery Eyes
Individuals experiencing persistent or chronic watering eyes may be good candidates for treatment at Rostami OPC. You may benefit from professional care if you experience constant tearing without an apparent reason or blurred vision due to excessive tears. During your consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend a tailored treatment plan.
Watery Eyes Treatment
We offer a range of advanced treatment options tailored to each patient’s needs. Non-surgical treatments like artificial tears may address inflammation, infection, dry eye syndrome, and allergy management through antihistamines and lifestyle modifications. Minimally invasive procedures can help regulate excess tear flow in cases related to dry eye syndrome. In more severe cases, surgical treatments may be necessary. Reconstructive surgery can also correct eyelid malposition that contributes to excessive tearing. Our team will evaluate your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment for long-lasting relief.
Watery Eyes Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery and aftercare depend on the specific treatment performed. Patients undergoing non-surgical treatments may notice improvement within days to weeks, while those who require surgical intervention can expect a recovery period of several weeks. It is important to follow post-treatment guidelines to promote healing and achieve optimal results. Patients should adhere to prescribed eye drop regimens to reduce inflammation and minimize the risk of infection. Avoiding rubbing or touching the eyes is essential to prevent irritation or complications. Additionally, attending follow-up appointments is crucial for monitoring progress and ensuring proper healing.
Watery Eyes Results
Most patients experience significant improvement after treatment, with reduced tearing and relief from discomfort. The results can be long-lasting, particularly with proper management of underlying conditions such as allergies or dry eye syndrome. For surgical interventions, success rates are high, with restored tear drainage and minimal recurrence.
