How to stop watering eyes?
My Dad has taken up golf again after taking a decade or two off but he has a real problem with his eyes watering on the course. There doesn't even need to be much of a breeze to start it off, just walking outside does it. Obviously this gets in the way of playing when he has to wipe his eyes before every shot. He wears glasses as well so I was wondering if anyone knows whether you can get anything that he could maybe wear over his glasses but that fit tight to the face, a bit like a pair of goggles I suppose? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi Richard,
I suffer from hayfever and a fairly continual eye mucus/conjuctivits problem all year round. Anything sets it off from pollen to breeze to warm weather etc - best days for me are cool, still damp days. The way I cope is using an eye bath (comes as a bottle of purified water and plastic cup available in hayfever sections of chemists/supermarkets) and then hayfever eye drops. I will usually re-do the eye drops after 9 holes if my eyes are bothering me.
hope this helps
