Crying eye syndrome is also known as epiphora which is the term for watery eyes.
Epiphora is an overflow of tears onto the face, other than caused by normal crying.
The condition epiphora is a clinical sign or condition that constitutes insufficient tear film drainage from the eyes, in that tears will drain down the face rather than through the nasolacrimal system.
Epiphora, or excessive tearing, is defined as the overflow of tears from one or both eyes.
Epiphora can occur continuously (be present all the time), or it can occur intermittently (be present only sometimes).
Allergies, blocked tear ducts, dry eye, and other conditions could cause watery eyes.
The medical term for watery eyes is epiphora.
When there is too much fluid, or tears are unable to drain properly through the nasolacrimal system, tears can overflow onto the face.
Epiphora is a result of a failure of tear drainage caused by mechanical obstruction or lacrimal pump failure.
Lacrimation is excessive tearing caused by reflex hypersecretion.
The goal of the basic examination is to distinguish between epiphora and lacrimation.
When you have crying eye syndrome your eyes tend to produce more tears and become more watery than normal.
The eyes may become watery also because of allergies, debris in the eye, dirt, dander, dust etc.
