My left eye is ok, but my right eye produces a lot of tears. When I lie down, tears (in small amount) just comes streaming down my cheeks even though I'm not crying or feeling sad at all. This happens to me a lot, especially when I sleep. So, when I wake up in the morning, the tears around my eyes have dried, and I end up having these crusty/sticky, dried up tear drops in my eyes, which shuts my eyes completely until I go wash it with water. Washing it all the time created dryness in the eye and irritation, but this happens all the time because my right eye keeps producing more tears than normal, especially in the night time. I've been having this problem for quite a while now. I'm going to go see an optomologist soon, but he's out of town now, and I have to leave for camp tomorrow. Our lodge will be somewhat far away from the camp's bathroom, and I don't want to stumble or fall with my eyes shut when I wake up in the morning. Are there any at-home/easy remedies for this problem to use temporarily so it doesn't become a problem while I'm away at camp/until the doctor comes back? Please help me. Thanks in advance and 10 points for best answer!

  1. This hasn't happened to me so I can't give you advice from personal experience.  It sounds like you have a leaky tear duct.  Better keep yourself hydrated!

    While you're on camp, I would have a damp cloth (such as baby wipes) next to your bed so you can wipe your eyes free of tears before you head for the bathroom.  You can buy lubricating eye drops from your local pharmacy to help with that annoying dryness of your eyes.

    Hope that helps. (=
