Hi,

No. Dry eye is not associated with psychological problems. But it IS associated with mental problems. Parkinson's disease causes a lack of blinking and this causes dry eyes. It is associated with tremor and a variety of other disorders. In addition, it is often (but not most of the time) with dementia which can have anxiety and depression with it. Without an exam, I can only give general information. cannot say in your particular case, but generally, Parkinson's is more likely than dry eyes producing a psychological condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
