Tear over-secretion is usually caused by irritation or inflammation of the surface of the eye. This can occur for a number of reasons, including eyelash and eyelid problems or allergies. Oddly, a dry eye problem can sometimes cause watery eyes, because the eye produces excess tears to combat the irritation and dryness.

It is the most likely cause of itching, burning, tearing, and sandy-feeling eyes.Other symptoms can be contact lens intolerance, chronic redness of the eyes, an intermittent foreign body feeling (something in the eye), or recurrent eye infections.he excess tearing is really a response to the irritation caused by the eyes being too dry.
