keep watering = dry eye ? 

i think it's misdiagnosed. dry eye literally means not enough water in the eyes

Best to see an ophthalmologist, but often a simple maintenance plan—like regular preservative-free artificial tears—can bring relief. I’ve effectively battled dry eye and allergic conjunctivitis for years, maybe I can help:

Duration: Has the tearing lasted more than two weeks?
Dryness: Do you feel burning, grit or fatigue in the eyes?
Allergy: Any itching or seasonal allergy symptoms?
Lids: Notice any crusting or redness along the lash line?
Environment: How much screen time, and are you often in air-conditioned, windy or very dry spaces?

Dry eye can often stem from tear-film breakup due to lipid-layer deficiency from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Not necessarily. Dry eyes can lead the tear ducts to overproduce.

 

I found that eye drops can help temporarily to lubricate the eyes but the advice is to not overuse them,so it can come back. It's bit of a vicious circle and exacerbated by the heat.

Go see an eye doctor and see what's going on.

 

I had eye surgery a year ago and had the problem for a while. What I found out is that there are different kinds of dry eyes. Some eye drops work better than others, depending.  Once you figure out what you need, it's easy enough to buy the stuff OTC.

Worse when it’s cold so I assume tear ducts faulty

I am terrified of eye surgery ... if they screw up the surgery, they can make it worse, no? 

 

Don't want to fear monger, but for myself surgery on the eyes is scary. I would research the risks carefully.

 

I stopped using the eye drops sold in conventional pharmacies because I think long-term use of those drops is not good. 

 

I now use these from iHerb ... but has not fixed the problem. Just contains it. 

 

They are natural, made of honey. Which has some special properties. It was recommended by an opthalmalogist online.

The item below sells for about ฿170-฿200 per bottle in Thailand. you can get it at just about any Thai pharmacy. It's a 10 ML bottle and if you use it twice a day, a bottle lasts about six weeks. One of the best things I've found for dry eyes.
