Epiphora is the condition of having watery eyes. Usually, a few tears are regularly produced in our eyes by the lachrymal glands. These serve the purpose of cleaning and lubricating the eyes. The tears get drained through the tear ducts or the nasolacrimal ducts into the nose. Any blockage or narrowing of the tear ducts can lead to an overflow of tears on to the face. This overflow of tears is known as watery eyes or Epiphora. In some cases, the drainage system for tears works well, but watery eyes result from excessive production of tears. Causes leading to excessive tear production are allergies, conjunctivitis, chemical irritants, entropion or ectropion, and blepharitis. Although watery eyes can occur at any age, little babies and people over 60 years of age have higher chances of being afflicted. The symptoms that accompany watery eyes are eye pain, inflammation of eyes, and impaired vision. Homeopathy has highly beneficial medicines to treat watery eyes. For the homeopathic treatment for watery eyes to be effective, it is essential that the precise details of each case are made clear.
Homeopathic Treatment for Watery Eyes
To decide on medication, accompanying symptoms like burning, itching, swelling, sensitivity to light, pain and redness in the eyes also have to be taken into consideration. Homeopathic treatment for watery eyes aims at treating the cause leading to the problem to ensure complete recovery. The most prominently indicated homeopathic medicines for watery eyes are Euphrasia, Natrum Mur Silicea, Pulsatilla, and Allium Cepa.
1. Euphrasia – A top Grade Homeopathic Medicine for Watery Eyes
Homeopathic medicine Euphrasia, commonly known as eyebright, has a broad sphere of action in the treatment of eye problems. Euphrasia is a very good homeopathic medicine for watery eyes. It works well when the eyes are constantly watering all day. Along with this, a pressure is felt in the eyes. Burning and itching are other accompanying features. Euphrasia is also an excellent homeopathic medicine for watery eyes resulting from inflammation of the conjunctiva. Sometimes, sticky eyelids may also occur.
2. Natrum Mur and Silicea – Wonderful Homeopathic Medicines for Watery Eyes resulting from Stricture of the Lachrymal Duct
Natrum Mur is a very effective homeopathic medicine for watery eyes. It is effective for watery eyes caused due to stricture of the lachrymal duct. In such cases, the eyes feel wet all the time and tears may even roll over on to the face. Sometimes, burning and smarting sensation in the eyes are also present. Sticky eyes, especially at night, may also occur. Cloudiness, a sandy feeling in these eyes, and corrosive eyes are other features that may arise. Silicea is also an often used homeopathic medicine for newborns with watery eyes resulting from the swelling or stricture of the lachrymal duct.
3. Pulsatilla – A Homeopathic Medicine for Watery Eyes in Conjunctivitis
Pulsatilla is another very useful homeopathic medicine for watery eyes. It is used for watery eyes caused due to catarrhal conjunctivitis. In such cases, there is a profuse flow of tears. This is accompanied by burning and itching in the eyes. The symptoms get worse in a warm room. Other accompanying features are a feeling of sand in the eyes, pressure on the eyes, a need to rub the eyes, and sticky lids. Over sensitivity to light is also present.
4. Allium Cepa – A Homeopathic Medicine for Watery Eyes when the Lachrymation Is Bland
Allium Cepa is a high-grade homeopathic medicine for watery eyes. It works well when the flow of tears is bland or non-irritating. In such cases, the flow of tears is very heavy and may reduce in the open. The eyes may also seem red and swollen. Allium Cepa is also used in allergic cases where the nasal discharge is very acrid, burning and is accompanied by a profuse and bland flow of tears.
My watery eyes started two months ago when atropine was used to dialate eyes. I had swelling ,itching,red and watery eyes. Dr gave anti allergy drops FMLT which STOPPED OTHER SYMPTOMS BUT WATERY EYES CONTINUED. Subsequently I was given cyclo twice to dialate eyes for doing OCT and lazer for retina hole. Watery eyes continue even after two weeks of dialate. FMLT IS NOT HELPING. I have floaters which have increased recently.

My friend Mr.Narendra is suffered from watering eyes in left eye last few months .what medicine of this problem please tell me sir…
Dr Sharma ji, 2 years ago, my cataract operation of both the eyes was done by Dr Nitin Dedhia, Ojas eye hospital, bandra West, Mumbai. After three months my eyes started watering resulting in Little discharge accumulation towards end of each eye. Dr initially gave Normo tears eye drops for two months, it helped reduce watering. After two months it started again, when consulted in Feb 2018,Dr recommended 3 snip surgery. He found water flows downward perfectly but the entry point of water draining pipe became narrow which needs to be widened by 3 snip surgery. I am afraid of surgery and it’s after effects. Trying to find remedy in homeopathic treatment as I am a strong believer of homeopathic line of treatment. Please oblige by replying.

Bilateral Epiphora at age 55+: chronic and ongoing watery eyes fir a few years. nasolacrimal duct surgeries endisvoplically and externals were fine but epiphora continues. The doctors have given a number of different prescription eye drops but the problem continues. The use of different eye drops for years has even caused hypo (corner) and hyper ( below) eye pigmentation. Want remedy for (1) epiphora and also for (2) loss of pigmentation in the corner from eye drops and/or multiple surgeries. Thanks.
