Epiphora, also known as epiphora, is a medical condition characterized by excessive tearing or watery eyes. This occurs when the tear ducts are unable to drain tears properly, leading to an overflow of tears onto the face. Various factors can contribute to epiphora, including allergies, infections, or blockages in the tear drainage system. Treatment for epiphora often depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, addressing allergies or infections can alleviate symptoms. More severe cases may require medical interventions, such as surgery to remove blockages or to create new drainage pathways for tears.
