Hello,
Dry eyes present with excessive tearing sometimes, though looks astonishing it is true. It is because of reflex tearing as a result of irritation of the ocular surface caused by dry eyes. Hence one of the common complaints of dry eyes are reflex tearing.
Hence it is a symptom of dry eye and this requires treatment by using artificial tears and local antiinflammatory drugs to take care of the inflammation.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for treatment.
Thank you
