Eye tearing (excessive watering) occurs when the eyes produce too many tears or when tears don’t drain properly. It can be caused by allergies, infections, blocked tear ducts, or irritation.

How does an ENT treat Eye Tearing?

• Treating infections or allergies with medication

• Clearing blocked tear ducts using gentle massage or procedures like probing or balloon dilation

• Surgery to open or bypass blocked tear drainage pathways if needed.
