Research Notes on Bell's Palsy Eye Care
To prevent corneal infections, the eyes may be protected by covers, or taped shut during sleep and for rest periods, and tear-like eye drops or eye ointments may be recommended, especially for cases with complete paralysis.

Fast Facts:
- Most people with Bell's palsy are unable to blink on the affected side of the face.1
- Permanent damage to the cornea is a risk if care is not taken to protect the eye.2
- In less than 20% of cases, symptoms of Bell’s palsy do not get better.3
