Tear over-secretion is usually caused by irritation or inflammation of the surface of the eye. This can occur for a number of reasons, including eyelash and eyelid problems or allergies. Oddly, a dry eye problem can sometimes cause watery eyes, because the eye produces excess tears to combat the irritation and dryness.
DISCUSSION. Tears flow from tear glands into your eyes through tiny tear ducts. The tear glands are located under your upper lids, and when stimulated, produce tears to form a thin film over your eyeballs. Every time you blink the film spreads over your eyes to keep them moist and free of dust and other irritants.ocabulary. Lacrimal Gland --The glands which produce tears. Reflex Tears --Also called irritant tears, these are extra tears which the tear glands produce when your eyes are irritated. Emotional Tears --Extra tears that the tear glands produce in response to an emotional reaction.
