What Causes Eye Watering?

Over the last three to our months my eyes have been watering, to the point people ask me if Im crying. Happens inside and out. Its winter so I cant believe its seasonal allergies which I have experienced. I have tried benedril and clariton with no improvement. We do burn wood for heat so I also thought maybe bacteria or wood mold but we went onto propane only, baseboard heat or a few weeks while recovering from carpel tunnel surgery but no change

You are having epiphora. It may be due to blockage of lacrimal duct. Punctum dilatation and syringing has to be done. Since you have got history of seasonal allergy. You can take Levocetri zine tab let and apply cromal eye drop. If does not subside then consult eye doctor.
