What Causes Watery Right Eye Along With Blurring Vision?

default
Posted on Fri, 13 Mar 2015
Question: For 2 days every time I bend over my right eye waters or almost "gels" causing blurriness only while I'm bending over - then it's fine. No pain is involved and my left eye is fine. What could be causing this?

Brief Answer:
Unilateral epiphora

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
You seem to have developed Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) on the right side which may be acquired and is likely to be due to dacryoliths or cast formation. Alliteratively obstruction is due to canalicular plugs which can migrate to and occlude the NLD (as you bend forward).
Obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct leads to the excess overflow of tears called epiphora, in your case from right eye.
The XXXXXXX disappearance test (DDT) is useful for assessing the presence or absence of adequate lacrimal outflow, especially in unilateral cases.

You need to consult Opthalmologist.
