What happens to astronauts tears when they are in space?

They tend to pool up and cloud their eyes due to surface tension. [Inside the confines of a space suit this can actually be quite dangerous, several spacewalks have been cancelled or cut short because of fluid in a space suit.](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/07/youre-an-astronaut-on-a-spacewalk-and-your-helmet-is-filling-with-water/277854/) Chris Hadfield also talks about one time he sneezed or something in his helmet and it was super bad, I’ll try to find it.
