Eyes Constantly Watering

I wear tubular mascara. I prefer the blinc brand, but Sephora didn't have it the last time I went.

I ordered some preservative free single use drops because I've had severe watery eyes. They seem so wasteful, though, and so much plastic! With two drops in each eye, I still have 2/3 of a vial left and you are supposed to discard immediately. I'm used to using my bottle of visine twice a day. At this rate I'll be wasting so much with these individual vials.

Is this just something I forget about because the benefits of preservative free individual bottles outweighs the risks of using and reusing a bottle of eye drops with preservatives?

Does anyone have a nose running like a faucet at the same time? Whenever I go anywhere my nose and eyes start running. Nasal sprays did nothing.

Are dry eyes also typically itchy? My eyes itch so awfully by the end of the day I can barely see

I had dry eyes and allergies that I have fixed by doing the following. Feel free to google more about it -

- humidifier at night in my bedroom.

- clean out all eye makeup every night. (I use TJ jojoba oil for that). Also, I go without eye makeup whenever I can.

- use a satin pillow case and change pillowcase at least twice a week. If you cannot change the pillowcase, use a clean linen towel to wrap around your pillow.

- At night and in the morning use an eyebrow and eyelid spray to clean the area. (I use Ocusoft Hypochlor Spray)

- Morning and before bed, I use a microwaveable heated eye pack for my eyelids. It takes around 10 minutes each time. It basically gets the natural oils and lubrication going and it protects my eyes. Prevents itchiness and is very soothing. (I use Bruder Dry Eye Masks With Moist Heat Warming Compress)

- With very light finger tip, I use a drop of jojoba or sesame oil to lightly oil my eyelids and orbital area before bed.

- Finally, this might seem very woo but I rely on Ayurveda for nose, throat and sinus. I used to have constant bad breath, post nasal drip, throat stones, constant sore throat etc. Now I do the following 4 things -
--- use a copper tongue cleaner to clean my tongue after brushing. Got the copper tongue cleaner from Amazon.
--- warm salt water gargles after brushing my teeth - morning and night.
--- Use a netipot (irrigating of nasal passage with saline water)
--- I do NASYA at night. (putting drops of ghee in the nasal passage).

I have found that my eyes and nose are no longer itchy and watery. My eyebrows and eyelashes have become thicker. I do not get throat stones, phlegm, sore throat etc. My teeth are noticeably whiter. No more redness of eye. My tongue is rarely coated and gross. I don't fall ill easily. I sleep better and feel rested. My eyes are whiter. I do not get crusty eye boogers.

I use Pataday eye drops for itchy eyes and it helps a lot.

Mine have been so itchy this week. Is there an allergy right now? Seems weird in winter.

Same. But my eyes really water and itchy/hurt when my eye pressure is up (I have a rare form of glaucoma) so be careful
