Thank you for the response.

1. I have experienced this for several months. Basically I experience watery eyes - but more common on the left eye. It does happen more in the mornings - but it also happens at other times of the day. It also seems to get aggravated with watching TV & using the computer.

2. Yes there is some redness in both eyes. However, I though that this may be due to my sleep apnea [which results in increased red blood cells]

Thank you.
