Watery Eyes

[Tilly2]

Why, as you get older, do your eyes water in chilly weather and wind. I have just walked home from work and now look like a panda because my eyeshave watered so much and my mascara has run. I know that waterproof mascara, or no mascara at all, will work but why does this happen?
My eyes run so much that the top of my cheeks become sore. Is there anything I can do to protect my eyes a bit??

Are you a spaniel?

Er, no.

My girl has watery eyes.

No big deal.............it's your age Tilly.

Nothing you can do about it except catch a bus back home instead of walking ;-)

Could be due to other less common causes.....just see how it goes.

[Tilly2]

Why does age have that effect, sqad. What happens to make it so?

[Sqad]

Dunno! to be honest, but as one gets older, the efficiency of the drainage system becomes less efficient, knackered, worn out, so the tears seem more profuse and obvious.

'eyeshave^ is that a new type of make up ??

[Tilly2]

Thank you, sqad.

My mum has that as well. She just carries tissues around- sorry, not much help, i know. I'll ask her for advice x

[boxtops]

I get the opposite - my mum used to as well - my eyes get really dry.

[Tilly2]

Kate, I'm using my tablet. It does its own thing. Well spotted. Obviously your eyes are not watering.

You can get gels for dry eyes, boxy

I have drops from the GP, helps a lot.
