A member asked:

Best way to treat blurred vision from bells palsy: prednisolone and acyclovir?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bells palsy: The best thing to do for the eye is to keep it lubricated. Bell's palsy makes the eyelid not close to protect the surface of the eye, hence the eye can get very dry and irritated. This can make the vision blurry. Use a thicker lubricating drop at night.
