Hello
It seems from the history that you are having watery eyes. This can be caused by over secretion of tears or because of obstruction of the tear flow. This can be done by simple clinical tests like lacrimal syringing.
The hypersecretion from lacrimal gland is usually rare and the most common cause is obstruction to the tear outflow. The treatment is by surgery in the form of dacryocstorhinostomy.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
