This could be because of blockage of eye tear duct or loosened eye lids. Would need physical testing for both. Till then ask him to avoid touching the eyes and wash frequently with normal water

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.
Next Steps
You need to take him to an ophthalmologist to get a detailed check up done

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.
