Hi Dave, my father, who is 83 has the same problem. I would be interested in knowing your age..... He takes all kinds of medication including statins, I have no idea if there is a connection. You do see more older people with very watery eyes though, could it be connected to the age? Mine have just got dry, it seems to be connected to the age and long use of contact lenses, I am 53 and I am going to try Hyaluronic Acid to see if it helps. Any ideas about the watery eyes would be appreciated, I will pass them on to my father although he is not one to try new things unless the doctor tell him to!Replied by Dave M.

My age is 51, but I've got the eyes of a 60 year old. In the past year I've had shingles on my face and head and had a staph infection in my left eye. It's been months and my left eye was watering some what, but now both eyes are watering constantly. I don't know whats causing it and neither does the eye doctor. I put lubricant drops in all the time because they said it's from dry eye, but it does'nt help. I've tried apple cider vinegar and silver internally but it has'nt helped either. I'm thinking of putting them in my eye's to see if that works, but I'm almost afraid to. I'm at a loss what to do right now and could use any ideas that you or anyone else has. the way it is I'm thinking about filing for disability because of this.
