If he has been having this discharge for the past 7-8 months, it could be an indication of an infection, most likely of the lacrimal sac due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

It could be due to just dry eye problem for which u use a month long lubricant and a short antibiotic eye drop course of 7 days.If the discharge and watering does not decrease go to a local ophthalmologist to check for syringing test and rule out NLD obstruction.His cataract,IOP and refractive status will be checked at that time only.
