Question
During winter, my eyes tear when exposed to the wind. Recently, my eyes have been frequently itchy, with more mucus upon waking up. I’ve noticed that there are more intranasal polyps than usual. I’ve been using the computer and television more frequently lately, and the symptoms have appeared for about half a month. No laboratory tests have been conducted.
Answer
Based on your description, your eyes may be experiencing excessive tear production or lacrimal duct obstruction due to external stimulation or internal factors, leading to discomfort and tearing. Obstructions in the lacrimal system, such as narrow lacrimal ducts, blockages, or dysfunction, as well as an increase in intranasal polyps, could be caused by various factors including inflammation, trauma, or genetic factors. It is recommended that you seek medical attention for a detailed examination to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
