A member asked:

Bell's palsy and vision loss in one eye, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minimal connection: Bell's palsy can affect the lids protection of the eye and may blur the vision a little. But major loss in one eye is from another cause. If this has occurred then check with your ophthalmologist.
