Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness and watering of eyes.
This indicates infection of the eyes.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
If the condition is not responding to medical drugs need to consider other causes like chronic dacryocystitis, chronic allergies...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
