3. Tearing and weeping.
Tearing is the eye’s natural way of cleansing itself; it helps to flush out any contaminants that have entered the eye, such as dirt and debris. At times, you may notice that your eyes produce more tears than others; for example, when smoke gets in your eyes or when you are exposed to something you are allergic to. However, once the irritant is no longer present, the tearing should subside.
If your eyes are tearing on a constant basis and they seem as if they are “weepy”, and if you notice any other symptoms that have been mentioned on this list, there is a good chance that you could be suffering from keratitis.
Make an appointment with your eye doctor or general health care provider as soon as possible for a complete assessment, as this condition needs to be diagnosed and treated properly.
