I think runny eyes is common in older buns. My boy is an oldie and he has constant runny eyes. His been to the vets 3 times about it, and the very say his fit as a fiddle. I would take your rabbit to the vet just to be on the safe side.
 
Hiya

I would take your bunny to the vet sooner than the 28th. 2 of my buns have recently had runny eyes and they were given some cream by the vets and has now cleared up, altho I have noticed that the cold wind the other day meant that Princess had her runny eye back but gone by the next morning.

It can also be an indicator of teeth problems so best to get it checked.

We've had the same sort of problems but with snotty noses, i remember after many trips to the vet that on one trip the vet said he didn't know what was the course as to him all he could see was a perfectly happy and healthy rabbit, then we were referred to a exotic vet and he did X/Rays which revealed whole different story, a large infection caused by the front tooth roots, his four front teeth have now been taken out.
My advice, ask your vet to do an X/Ray, as, as time gose on a hidden problem may be getting worse which if left to long may become harder to fix, the thing you have to decide is how longs the problem been going on for and do the drugs etc work, unfortunately drugs etc may only mask the real problem and when your rabbits body gets used to the drugs or you stop the drugs for a while the signs just seem to flear up again.
