Eyelid Paralysis (inability to close the eyes) can occur from Bell’s palsy or numerous other disease processes that cause the facial nerve not to function. In all cases the result is facial and eyelid paresis (weakness) or paralysis (no function). When eyelid paresis or paralysis occurs the eyelids don’t close, the eye is exposed with resultant pain, redness, tearing, reduced vision and constant irritation.
