If you mean drops of moisture or tears collecting in the corners of your eyes, it may simply be watery eyes.

Parkinson’s may contribute because reduced blinking can allow the surface of the eyes to become dry. Strangely enough, dry or irritated eyes can produce extra tears. Allergies, eyelid inflammation, certain medications, or tear ducts that are not draining properly can also cause it, so it may be completely unrelated to Parkinson’s.

See your ophthalmologist to find out what is actually causing it and what treatment would be appropriate. See your eye doctor sooner if you develop pain, redness, swelling, discharge, sensitivity to light, or changes in your vision.

Eye drops or excessive tearing can be a symptom related to Parkinson's. Here are some things that may help:

- Blink more consciously — Parkinson's can reduce your blink rate, causing eyes to dry out and then overcompensate with tears
- Use lubricating eye drops — Over-the-counter artificial tears can help balance moisture Show Full Answer

Eye drops or excessive tearing can be a symptom related to Parkinson's. Here are some things that may help:

- Blink more consciously — Parkinson's can reduce your blink rate, causing eyes to dry out and then overcompensate with tears
- Use lubricating eye drops — Over-the-counter artificial tears can help balance moisture
- Avoid wind and bright light — These can trigger excess tearing
- Stay hydrated — General hydration supports eye health
- Wear wraparound glasses outdoors — This can reduce environmental triggers

It's really worth mentioning this to your neurologist or eye doctor, as they can check whether your medications may be contributing to the issue and recommend the best treatment for your specific situation.
