watery eyes
Brimming with tears
Watery eyes produce excessive tears, whether from emotion, irritation, or medical conditions like allergies or blocked tear ducts.
The phrase often describes someone on the verge of crying: Her eyes grew watery as she read the letter.
Watery eyes can also signal fatigue, illness, or exposure to wind and cold.
