Is this a symptom of peri/menopause? My eyes, (can be one or both) randomly start watering. No pain or obvious irritation.

Yes it can be. Dry eyes is one of the peri symptoms. Watering is a sign of dry eyes.

It could be bletheritis. I have it. Not sure if it's linked to the menopause but it's certainly another joy of aging.

Such fun. They're not itchy or sore. They just start watering and can last for a few minutes or up to 30 minutes
