Hello
It seems from the history that you are having constant discharge from the eyes.
This can be because of obstruction of drainage of tears as in chronic dacryocystitis.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and definitive treatment is by surgery to reestablish the drainage of tears.
This requires confirmation of diagnosis by performing simple tests like lacrimal syringing.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
