Substances that cause an allergic reaction are called allergens. Reaction to allergens can cause your eyes to become red and irritated, prompting tear production, itching, and burning. The most common outdoor causes of allergic eye symptoms are grass, tree, and weed pollens.
In babies, the tear duct may not be fully open and functioning for the first several months of life. In older adults, persistent watery eyes may occur as the aging skin of the eyelids sags away from the eyeball, allowing tears to accumulate and flow out. Sometimes, excess tear production may cause watery eyes as well. Allergies or viral infections (conjunctivitis), as well as any kind of inflammation, may cause watery eyes for a few days or so.
