What is the reason why my eyes are always tearing up?

Tears are a normal physiological reaction. Tears can lubricate the eyes, cleanse dust, and kill bacteria. However, excessive tears may lead to insufficient tear secretion, and the bactericidal effect will be greatly weakened, which will lead to a series of eye diseases, such as snow blindness, chronic conjunctivitis, etc., which are very distressing. Here are some reasons for excessive tears.

Two types of tears

1. Cold tears: The eyes are not red, but often shed tears, which are worse when facing the wind. The tears are clear and thin. If not treated, over time, the eyes will become dim and unable to distinguish colors.

2. Hot tears: eyes are red, swollen and painful, afraid of light, and tears are sticky and turbid, often complicated by other eye diseases.

3 reasons why your eyes often tear up:

1. The tear puncta are everted.

The lower lacrimal punctum leaves the eyeball, and tears cannot flow into the lower lacrimal punctum, thus causing tearing symptoms.

2. The lacrimal puncta are narrow or occluded.

It is caused by blepharitis, burns, other trauma, or eyelashes entering the tear duct. There are also congenital symptoms.

3. Tear duct stenosis or occlusion.

It is mostly caused by the entry of scar tissue, stones or eyelashes after trachoma infection.

Typical symptoms at diagnosis:

1. Tears in the wind.

In one or both eyes, when the temperature drops or there is stimulation from cold wind, tears flow out quickly, accompanied by itchy and sore eyes.

2. Frequent tears

The eyes often shed tears without any irritation, the tears are thin and clear, and there is no pain or redness or swelling.

Note:

1. Avoid operating the computer continuously for a long time and take breaks in between.

Usually operate continuously for 1 hour, take a 5-10 minute break, and maintain a good working posture. Adopt the most appropriate posture, with your eyes looking level or slightly downward at the monitor. This will relax your neck muscles and minimize the area of ​​your eyeballs exposed to the air.

2. Create and maintain good working conditions.

The ambient light should be soft, the display brightness should be appropriate, the clarity should be good, and the height of the desk and chair should match the height of the computer.

3. See an ophthalmologist promptly

If your eyes become dry, red, burning or have a foreign body sensation, your eyelids become heavy, your vision becomes blurred, or you even have eye pain or headaches, and there is no significant improvement after rest, you should go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist.

4. Get enough sleep

Eight hours of sleep a day is essential so that the blood circulation in the cerebral cortex can be properly regulated.
