Brief Answer:
Nasolacrymal duct blockage.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. It seems that due to some reason your nasolacrymal duct on either side has been blocked. There is a small opening near the inner angle of each eye draining the excess tears into the nasal cavity through this tube. Blockage of this opening or the tube therefore leads to watery eyes, thus leading to your problem.

You need to wash your eyes frequently with plain water. You also need to stroke gently starting from the inner angle of the eye to the ala of the nose. Hopefully that should help. If it does not, you would need to visit an ophthalmologist who could do some probing which will help in resuming the patency of the opening.

Let me know if I could help further.
