Small amounts of white or yellow drainage from the eye are common. Some drainage or crusting of the lids, especially in the morning, may be normal. Clear or watery drainage from the eye is often due to allergies or a virus. The eyes may also be itchy and red and feel scratchy. Colds, flu, and viral pinkeye (conjunctivitis) also can cause watery eyes and a runny nose. It is very common for pinkeye drainage to cause the eyelids to stick together during sleep.
The outer membrane of the eye is called the conjunctiva. Any irritation of the cornea or conjunctiva can lead to watery eye. Inflammation of the conjunctiva from (conjunctivitis) infection, irritants (chemical splash, etc.), or allergy (hay fever) is a common cause of itchy, watery eyes, as well as eye swelling. Infection of the eye can require antibiotics in the form of prescription eyedrops.
