Symptom: Tear symptoms

Tear symptoms: Symptoms affecting the eye's ability to tear
Description: Tearing , or having too many tears, can come from being sensitive to light, wind, or temperature changes. Protecting your eyes (by wearing sunglasses, for instance) sometimes solves the problem. Tearing may also mean that you have a more serious problem, such as an eye infection or a blocked tear duct. Your eye doctor can treat or correct both of these conditions.¹
