Watery eyes?

I have watery eyes. In particular, it seems to have started after cataract
surgery of my second eye, the right eye. It really seems to be a faucet.

Is there any known association of watery eyes with cataract implant surgery?

Does wateryness in one eye produce a sympathetic wateryness in the other
eye? My left eye waters, but not nearly as much as the right eye.
