What causes a cat to tear up or have watery eyes?
Tearing in cats can stem from many issues, including ingrown eyelashes, conjunctivitis, viral infection, blocked tear ducts, foreign-object irritation, or diet. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, so identifying it is key. Cats that frequently eat salty, oily food may also tear more, so managing their diet helps.
What medication should I use for my cat’s inflamed eye?

My cat’s eye looks like it’s ulcerating and keeps tearing — what should I do?

What medication helps a kitten with watery eyes and lots of eye discharge?

What medication should I use for my cat’s watery eyes?
The right treatment depends on the cause of the tearing.

Ingrown lashes can be plucked or surgically corrected, but you should confirm the cause before giving any medication.
