Eyes watering when outdoors...

Everytime I'm outdoors and when the slightest breeze comes into contact with my eyes, they start watering. Not so much that it looks like I'm crying, they just fill up and I end up either blinking manically or rubbing them to get rid of the tears. Anyone else have this problem? I really should get some sunglasses, but they don't really suit me and it would be strange wearing them in the Winter, lol.

It happens to me when I just woke up, still tired, and open the window with the bright sun shining against me.

Wear sunglasses.
Squint more often.
Get used to the wind, don't think about your eyes watering.

i get this, the last time i went to my opticians 8 years ago, she said it was because my glands i think, dont produce enough fluid per blink, lol, and so they are slightly dry on the inside, i was given the choice of eye drops if it was irratating but i left it as i couldnt bear to think putting drops into my eyes and now im blind (just kidding)
