magnesium supplements. Too much magnesium can give this issue

Sometimes that has happened to h me. I just gently rub my eye lids, and massage them open. I think they don't have enough moisture.

KERRINGTON hi yes I have done that a few times but it’s a bit of a nightmare 1st thing in the morning??

my dr prescribed a cream at night and some drops in the morning. It was resolved quickly. I wish every other issue was this quick...

My eyes were so dry they were glued to my eyes in the morning and it was painful. Eye doctor had be get eye 'gel' to put in at night before bed. better than drops. I use drops thruout the day. Might try the gel

I have the same problem. My optometrist has told me that the liquid produced by the glands in the eye is the consistency of butter where is it should be the consistency of oil. I have to apply a heat pack for five minutes a day and then massage my eyes. She has also given me some drops to put in every day. This is all helped Although it is a bit of a nuisance.

Hate to be nerdy but eye problems have been a big deal for me for 30 years. The eyes produce a watery fluid. TBUP is the test for tear break up time. The optometrist puts drops in the eye then watches how long it takes for the tear film to break up after a blink. In normal eyes it takes 20 to 30 seconds. In dry eye syndrome it takes one to two seconds for the tear film to break up. There are Mybomian glands in the eye lids that produce oil. Think about making soup; The oils float to the surface and spread out there. The oil from mybomian glands do the same thing. This coating of oil keeps the tears from evaporating too soon. The mybomian glands cause stys also by plugging the tear ducts.

I don't know whether it's a symptom of PD but I have dry eye. I take Restasis eyedrops.

A different neuro suggested using baby shampoo as an eye wash.
