10 Bell's Palsy Symptoms
Symptom #7: Difficulty Blinking
Our eyes are quite delicate and could quite easily become damaged. Thankfully, though, they are well protected by the skull which shields them from impact trauma. They are also protected at the front by thin layers of skin which we know as the eyelids. They help protect against scratches and also help to keep the eyes moist by blinking.
If we don’t have control over the muscles that control the eyelids, though, then blinking can become very difficult. This can make it difficult for us to keep our eyes moist, causing our eyes to dry out. This can cause considerable discomfort and may even lead to damage if you are not careful.
