I came to check for symptoms of tearing.

From some point on, I started having symptoms of tears flowing or collecting in my eyes.
This isn't terribly uncomfortable, but it's not a common symptom, so I was feeling quite uncomfortable.
I went to an ophthalmologist, had my tearing symptoms checked, was prescribed eye drops, and am currently observing.
It wasn't that bad, but I was embarrassed and a little confused because I didn't know that it would cause me discomfort and tears.
Because I never thought tears would cause so much discomfort.
I don't think I felt any discomfort because the symptoms of tears that occasionally flowed would disappear quickly if I just wiped them away.
But now, the symptom of tears flowing seems to appear occasionally for no reason.
It's a bit ambiguous whether to say that tears are welling up or flowing.
Anyway, I visited the hospital because I had symptoms of tears continuously flowing from only one eye.
I had various tests done at the hospital.
They said there was nothing particularly abnormal and there were no suspicious findings.
So, he prescribed a simple eye drop and told me to wait and see.
In cases of symptoms such as tears flowing, he said there is no particular pain or discomfort and it does not seem to cause any problems.
I personally looked into it a bit and found that it could be because the tear ducts are blocked.
The doctor who examined me said that I didn't actually have those symptoms.
First, I got a prescription for eye drops and came back.
Currently, I put eye drops in my eyes before going to bed.
I can't feel any improvement in the tearfulness yet, but since it's only been a few days, I'm going to wait and see.
I wonder if any of you have experienced these symptoms.
It's not really a problem, but I'm worried about how to manage this symptom of constantly shedding tears.

    눈물이 흐르는 증상을 유루증이라고 알고 있는데 이상이 없다고 했으니 그건 아니신가 보네요. 일시적인 증상일 것 같습니다.

    눈물이 계속 흐르거나 고이는데 안약 후에도 차도가 없다면 
    눈물길이 막혀서 눈물 배출이 안돼서 그럴 경우도 있고요 
    안구건조증 역설적 눈물일 수도 있어요(눈이 건조하면 오히려 눈물이 과다하게 분비될수도 있다고 하더라구요)
    너무 심하시면 지켜보시다가 안과에서 눈물길 검사 받아보시고 지켜보세요 
    눈 비비지 마시고 온찜질 병행해주시는것도 도움이 될거예요

    안약 처방 후 즉각적인 차도가 느껴지지 않아 걱정이 되셨을 것 같습니다. 
    처방받은 안약의 종류(항생제, 소염제, 안구건조증 치료제 등)에 따라 효과가 나타나는 시기가 다를 수 있다고 합니다.
    일반적으로 눈물 흘림 증상(유루증)이나 건조증으로 인한 안약은 즉각적인 효과보다는 3~4일에서 길게는 1~2주 이상의 꾸준한 사용 후 증상 호전을 보이는 경우가 많다고 합니다.
