When facial paralysis keeps one eye from fully closing, it’s more than a cosmetic concern. It can put your eye’s health at risk. 👁️
After Bell’s palsy, a tumor, surgery or other facial nerve injury, some patients can no longer blink or close one eye completely. That leaves the eye exposed, and it can become dry, irritated and vulnerable to corneal injury. Drops, ointments and taping help many people, but they don’t always provide enough protection.
When everyday eye care isn’t enough, paralyzed eyelid surgery may help restore better closure and protect the eye. At his Upper East Side practice, Dr. Joshua Rosenberg evaluates each patient’s eyelid function and facial nerve status to find the right approach for them. Learn more on the blog:
