Conjunctivitis Symptom #9: Watering
The eyes are naturally quite wet and for very good reasons. One reason is that the surface can become damaged if allowed to dry out, so it is moistened by a liquid secreted by glands. This also provides lubrication for our eyelids to slide over the eyes, while causing the eyes to water can also help to flush out unwanted debris.
Excess watering of the eyes can also be caused by an irritation that is causing conjunctivitis. Tears will often stream from the eyes and this can cause more crusting of the eyelids when the patient wakes up the following day.
