Waking up with eyes feeling "glued" shut can be a common experience for some people with Parkinson's disease. This can be due to reduced blinking and tear production, leading to dryness and crusting around the eyes. Here are a few tips that might help:

- Use a humidifier: Adding moisture to the air can help prevent dryness.
- Eye drops: Over-the-counter artificial tears can keep your eyes lubricated.
- Warm compress: Applying a warm, damp cloth to your eyes can help loosen any crusting.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I do this most mornings…. i have to force my eyes open, occasionally my eyes just shut and I feel as if I’m not able to open them! I will have to open them with my fingers!
The neurologist said she could give me some Botox shots in my eye lids to help but it would be very painful !
So right now i’m using lubricant eye drops..
