Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having watery eyes. The common causes for watering are obstruction to the outflow of normally formed tears like chronic dacryocystitis and reflex hyperlacrimation like infections and inflammations of the eye.
Steroids are not required for these conditions. No need to worry as these symptoms does not indicate glaucoma or cataract.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
