See a healthcare professional right away if you have watery eyes with:

• Worse vision or changes in vision.
• Pain around your eyes.
• The feeling that something is in your eye.

Watery eyes may clear up on their own. If the problem is due to dry eyes or eye irritation, use of artificial tears may help. So might placing a warm compress over your eyes for a few minutes. If you keep getting watery eyes, make an appointment with your healthcare professional. If needed, you may be referred to an eye doctor called an ophthalmologist.
