Watch the parallelism in Ps 6:
His foes caused him to weep on his bed. This nightly routine was weakening his eyes physically. It's a vivid expression of how deep emotional pain could manifest physically, and it's part of the psalmist's appeal to God for deliverance and healing.
David cried to sleep. His anguish was taxing on his eyes. The next verse reinforced the last one.6 I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
His grief stressed his eyes. His enemies caused his weeping. It was taking a physical toll on his eyes.7 My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. 9 The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord accepts my prayer. 10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
