MTX and watering eyes

[Jennie]

Hello

I too had watery eyes while on MTX. I was on it for about 3-4 months and just gave up on wearing any eye makeup as i would be constantly wiping it off and getting lovely black smears under my eyes. Anyway the MTX wasnt working for my symptoms so I am now on Imuran and watery eyes doesnt seem to be a problem.

I thought my watery eyes were related to the pred meds and eyes being too dry. Strange as it sounds my treatment was to add artificial tears several times a day since doctor told me my eyes were too dry and tearing to try moisten them. Still have some excess tears but less than before. I have not used MTX though since it is too hard on kidneys.
