    Watering Eyes - How to avoid ?

    Hello everyone.

    I am an average rider doing anywhere between 100 -150 kms daily on 100 -150cc bikes. (In the city)

    I have noticed that my eyes get watery very soon, even at rest.
    And this condition gets aggravated when i ride.(esp. In delhi's summer)

    Till yesterday i was doing fine but today in the morning when i was stuck in traffic (helmet/jacket/gloves/knee guards on) suddenly my eyes started tearing up. I tried not to blink because i knew it will only get worse with the sweat getting in the mix..... But i couldn't hold it any longer and then my eyes really started to burn with uncontrollable tears.
    So much that i couldn't see 1 feet in front of me and my gloves were dirty with all the riding etc. And the signal turned green and i was almost clueless where i was heading.
    It was scary for a moment, with traffic moving ahead on either side.
    I headed to my left and stopped and took off my helmet & gloves and wiped my face with clean tissues and the situation was resolved.

    I don't know if anyone of you got such issues. But this was the first time when it got this bad.

    Any suggestions ?

    (I don't wear glasses and my helmet has a sun screen visor too)

    Cheers.

    This has probably less to do with riding a bike and more to do with health. Do visit a doctor and get a checkup.
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      Since you mentioned for the first time it happened yesterday.
      Your body might be dehydrated. When you stuck in traffic because of outside sun heat/dehydration/sun burn, your eyes might watered.
      Drink a plenty of water before riding & always keep a bottle of water with you. Eat a lots of Cucumber & Watermelon.
      Please take few days rest & avoid riding in very hot weather (noon). Once you have plenty of fluids in your boy I think you may ride comfortably.
      But again as Monk mentioned please take care of your health & consult a doctor regarding this.
      Happy & Safe Riding

        If your mouth goes dry often, you are dehydrated. Drink plenty of water, and your eyes won't water.
        If not, get a good pair of sunglasses with UV filters, that should resolve the eye watering.
        I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

          Hello all

          Thanks for replying.
          I have had the consultations in the past. Nothing pathological came up.

          Earlier i used to wipe my eyes before they completely well up with tears but then they continue to water because of the dust/sweat from hand/glove.
          I was hoping that someone else here might have faced similar issues with long distance touring or riding in extreme weather conditions or may be without a visor/helmet.

          I wonder if i should start wearing some eye gear which snuggly fits my eyes inside my helmet. Will it save my eyes from drying/watering up ?
