Best treatment for watery eyes...

Just that really. One eye is constantly watering... No redness or soreness. I've tried Blink Intensive drops but they have not helped. Many thanks

Hang on I remember this. It was I think a cotton bud, dipped in cooled boiled water and rubbed across the lower eyelid to get rid of whatever was blocking the duct

Sounds daft but eyes often water because they're dry. I work for an independent opticians and we usually recommend a preservative free eye drop such as Hycosan Extra or Thealoz duo. They're both a good thick lubricant and can be used by contact lens wearers as well.

I use the Hycosan drops in the red bottle.

Thanks so much for the quick replies. I'll try both x

Thanks for your suggestions. I've tried the drops as recommended but my eyes are still really watery. It looks like I'm crying! Can anyone suggest anything else? I've never had any allergies but just wondering if this could be the case. I don't want to waste the GPs time (and I can never get through to them anyway) so all advice greatly appreciated!
