What Is Ramsay Hunt Syndrome?
6. Eye Damage
We blink regularly without even thinking about it, but it is a very important action for us. Blinking helps to coat the eye with a natural lubricant that prevents the surface of the eye from drying out. Without this lubricant, the eye can become damaged. It is a problem that some people with Ramsay Hunt syndrome will develop.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome can mean the patient cannot close their eyes, and this can cause the cornea to become dry and damaged. A damaged cornea can cause blurred vision and it can also cause pain in the eye. The damage caused will be permanent in many cases.
