What is another word for epiphora?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛpɪfˌɔːɹə] (IPA) 
Epiphora, also known as "watering eyes," occurs when excess tears build up in the eyes and spill over onto the cheeks. The exact medical term for this condition is "hypolacrima." Other synonyms for epiphora include lacrimation, tearing, overflowing tears, excessive tearing, and weeping. There are various causes of this condition, including allergies, Ectropion (outward turned eyelid), and blockage of the tear duct. Treatment may include eye drops, antibiotics, or surgery. If left untreated, epiphora can impact vision and create eye infections. Therefore, it is imperative to consult an optometrist or ophthalmologist if you experience persistent watering eyes or any other eye-related issues.
