Is sleeping with your eyes partially open cause for alarm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concern not alarm: Any exposure of your eyes while sleeping can lead to surface scars/infections and poor vision and discomfort. Extra lubrication with an ophthalmic ointment is needed and a full medical evaluation is recommended.
