[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1472933, member: 52527"] One possibility is mild blepharitis. If the meibomian glands which are on the edge of the eyelid get blocked, the oil they secrete can't get onto the surface of the eye and do its job of reducing evaporation of the tear film. As the tear film evaporates, the surface of the eye becomes too dry and excess tears are produced. Warm flannel held to the eye twice a day plus eyelid cleansing can help and artificial tears can reduce symptoms. Bacterial infection can be treated with antibiotics.
