We describe a case of gustatory lacrimation on a 61-year-old male with a history of Bell's Palsy that presented to the Ophthalmology clinic with painless epiphora in the right eye while eating. Examination was notable for oral-ocular synkinesis and hyperlacrimation while eating on the right eye only (as documented by Schirmer's test). |
