Most likely, you have become increasingly near-sighted, or myopic, over the years. This happens frequently during school years- high school and college and there has been some implication that it may be related to long hours of reading. It is possible that your myopia may start to improve, but it is unlikely to happen until you are in your late forties or early fifties. The good news is that being nearsighted has an advantage as well. Most people start to require reading glasses in their early forties. Being myopic, you will not. In fact, I am myopic, 55 years old and still do not wear reading glasses. I wouldn't trade that for anything!

There is most likely nothing wrong with your eyes. Some people are sensitive to sunlight and this precipitates tearing. This is especially true if you have light colored eyes. A good quality pair of sunglasses may not only help with the tearing, but will also block harmful ultraviolet rays that could be damaging. This is not an allergy. If you haven't had a comprehensive eye exam in the recent past, it is probably a good idea to do so.
