my eyes.
15/f
for about 8 months now, my eyes are very teary and watery. it lasts throughout the day and sometimes it even stings. i went to the opthomologist and she said there was "globs" and my tear ducts were swollen. nothing wrong with the cornia or anything.
now, heres the weird part. i have contacts and glasses. this has happened with the contacts in, and with my glasses on. it doesnt matter what im wearing, they still tear. it happens even without makeup on. ive tried switched makeup, and it doesnt seem to let up. in fact, i think its getting worse. its too the point where everything is watery and i can't see. ive been taking fish oil/flax seed vitamins and compressing my eyes/face, and nothing seems to be doing the trick.
anyone know of anything i can do? anything is appreciated.

I agree with Adviceman49. You DEFINITELY need to follow up with that doctor.
I do want to add, though, because you say it happens no matter what you do to your eyes (or don't do), that it could be a histamine reaction - that is, it could be allergies. I had my eye do something similar once, and that's what it was.
Try some over-the-counter Benadryl and see if that doesn't make some kind of a difference. If it does, you need to talk to your primary care physician about starting some kind of allergy medication.
**Just a disclaimer: none of us are doctors here, including me. I can only make suggestions based on my own life experience.
Hope this helps somehow. Good luck, feel better.

I think you need to see an Ophthalmologist; this is a MD who is also an Eye Surgeon. Most people we call Eye Doctors are actually Opticians who trained to prescribe corrective lens only. If you did see an Ophthalmologist in the past then you need to go back to that doctor for a follow up visit.
None of us on this website are doctors and we cannot and should not be giving out any type of medical advice.
Your eyes are one of the most delicate organs you have and they can become irritated by a host of airborne particulates from pollen to dust to whatever other is polluting the air where you live. You need to see an eye specialist who can exam your eyes and determine what is causing your problem. Tell your parents you are still experiencing problems and that you would like to see an Ophthalmologist. Since they are Medical Doctors most Insurance plans will cover the visit.
