watery eyes

[bbuzz]

Recently my right eye has been tearing.  At times it is so bad that the tear rolls down my cheek.  I have just seen a contact lens specialist and he said this was caused by blepharitis.  Could this be true since I have blepharitis in the left eye as well and it isn't watery  I'm using hot compresses and Steri-lid, but it doesn't seem to help.  Do you have any suggestion to help get rid of the tears?  Thanks.

See an EyeMD for a second opinion.

You might welcome information from a forum about dry eyes.  Strangely, one of they symptoms of what is called "Dry eye" is excessive watering:

Blepharitis is also much discussed there.
