What causes watery eyes and what is the watery eye treatment?
SAMER HAMADA DESCRIBES WATERY EYES AND THE POSSIBLE TREATMENTS OF WATERY EYES
It is not unusual for a child to be born with watery eyes, because we know that the tear ducts are not fully opened in the first year of life.
So, this is quite normal, and we usually reassure parents that only a bit of massage of the tear duct might be enough and helpful to open the tear ducts and stop watery eyes. If watery eyes persist beyond 12 or 18 months, then other options can include a small procedure to diagnose and treat watery eyes.
