Patient's question:
I am currently a patient with facial paralysis, and it is said that facial paralysis has a significant impact on the eyes. Hello, what is the interference of facial paralysis on the eyes?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of Bell's palsy may be related to cerebrovascular lesions leading to impaired blood circulation in that area. Generally, patients may experience difficulty closing their eyelids on the affected side, causing the eye to be exposed to external stimuli, leading to discomfort or infection. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary. Patients can visit the ophthalmology or neurology department for diagnosis. Comprehensive treatment, including acupuncture, should be considered. The recovery time is usually around 2 to 3 weeks.
