10 Bell's Palsy Symptoms
Symptom #9: Watering Eyes
Our tears are secreted into the eyes from the tear ducts to help keep the eyes moist. This helps to lubricate the eyes, allowing the eyelids to move smoothly over them. Our eyes are kept moist at all times, although sometimes they can become too moist.
Bell’s palsy will often cause the patient’s eyes to become wetter than usual. While this is not necessarily something to be overly concerned about, it can be uncomfortable and can be very visibly noticeable. It can also lead to minor difficulties in the morning as dried tears make it difficult for the patient to open their eyes.
