Brief Answer:
The cause has to be found out
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Constant watery eyes can be due to many reasons like, allergies, infection, blocked nasal duct .
There is no treatment to provide symptomatic relief, you can wipe them with damp towel/tissues.
Try to Correlate if any particular thing triggers the excessive watering like exposure to dust, or any particular perfume or cosmetic and avoid it .
Please consult an ophthalmologist to see if your gland is swollen or blocked as it may require surgical correction.
There are no drops to stop the tears.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask further
Best wishes
