Visit an eye care specialist if you have dry eyes or watery eyes. These are the most common signs that something’s interfering with your tear system.

If something is wrong with one part of your lacrimal apparatus, it can affect your whole tear system. For example, if something is blocking your meibomian glands, your tears might spill out of your eyes. This can make it feel like you’re making more tears than usual because they’re missing the oil that helps them stay in your eye.

Talk to an eye care specialist if you notice any changes in your eyes. Even a small change like frequent dry eyes can be a sign of an issue that an eye care specialist can diagnose and treat.
