Watery Eye
The common cause of watery eye in a small child is where the nasolacrimal duct that is the passage which carries the tears away from the eye into the nose has not developed normally.
The symptoms usually include constant watering of one of both eyes and stickiness or discharge. Normally 9 out of 10 children's symptoms clear up by themselves by the age of 12 months. However, if a child has significant problems at the age of 12 months, then treatment may be considered. This involves passing a probe down the nasolacrimal duct under general anaesthetic to clear the blockage and this is usually curative.
