Hyperlacrimation is the medical term for excessive tearing or watering of the eyes.
Understanding Hyperlacrimation
At its core, hyperlacrimation describes the condition where there is an accumulation of tears [1,24]. This can happen when the eyes produce too many tears or when the tears do not drain away effectively through the tear ducts.
Potential Effects of Hyperlacrimation
Experiencing hyperlacrimation can be bothersome and impact daily life. According to information referenced, this condition:
- Often leads to physical and emotional distress, in addition to causing social embarrassment [1,24].
- Can also trigger symptoms such as eye irritation and blurred vision [24].
These symptoms highlight how persistent excessive tearing can affect comfort and visual clarity.
