Hello...watery eyes are normal condition in early age..baby's tear duct may not have fully developed yet. 
You can remove any sticky liquid or crusting by bathing her eye with cooled boiled water and cotton wool.
Do mas saging the tear duct area twice or thrice a day.
Apply medium pressure with clean index finger to the part of your baby's eye closest to the nose and massage downward, toward the nose.

Hello dear parent, you should follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Do not worry much. Just put eye drops as a prescribed by the doctor. You can also ask the doctor if you can wash eyes with boric powder. As that is helpful as well. Good luck and take care
