Rashi, on Lam 1:16

“Ain. Therefore do I weep, and my eyes run down with water: because the comforter, the relief of my soul, is far from me: my children are desolate because the enemy hath prevailed.”

“my eye, yea, my eye i.e., my eye constantly sheds tears. The double expression indicates that there was no letup.”
