NA defines it as "to shed tears" and, although that's not the literal meaning, I feel it is indeed used to convey that meaning, based on usage such as:
突然一身便装出场,忍不住抹泪并声音沙哑地宣布,

动人的情节令大家多次忍不住抹泪。

一想到自己现在的处境,她就忍不住抹泪,

夜晚,武汉街头,一外卖小哥坐在路边台阶上,吹灭一块小蛋糕上的蜡烛,随后大口吃着。吃着吃着,突然开始抹泪。

Additional examples:
一位身穿白大褂的八尺男儿偷偷抹泪,原来是奶奶离世,

30岁重剑手一边抹泪一边说:

俄罗斯飞行学院招收女学员 被录取者激动抹泪

得知女儿不回家过年,父亲转身偷偷抹泪
