Brief Answer:
Propably blockage of tear duct

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your detailed reply,

You have mentioned that,
Your eyes are not red and watering mainly and no discharge,
So its suggest their is no infection in your eyes,

Tear is contineously produced normaly as a protective mechanism of eye and gets drained by tear duct,
If tear duct gets blocked their can be contineous watering through eyes,

So i propably think its a blockage of tear duct

I recommend you to visit a opthalmologist for a detailed examination of your eye.

If you further have any query your free to ask,

Wish you a good health
