Sent to Health Experts July 29 10:45 AM

Every morning my left eye tears. ( Almost like my tear duct has a "leaky valve" ) It seems to go away by noon each day. I tried OpconA. It helps a little. It has been doing this for weeks. What would cause it? My eye make-up runs all over the place. Any suggestions?

Hi

Most likely you have blocked tear duct.

If possible try to see an eye specialist who can "probe" it for you.

Any redness at all of the eye?

Reply to Alexander Irvine's Post: No redness to speak of. It is after noon here and it is still tearing a little bit. Not painful at all, just more of a nuisance.

Hi

No redness would be consistent with a blocked tear duct.
