What could cause the muscles in one eye to stop working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ophthalmoplegia: Either a mini-stroke of the eye muscles, or a lesion in the midbrain near the nuclei controlling eye movement can cause this, but other diagnoses such as ocular myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, orbital myositis and Graves eye disease must be excluded. See a neuro-ophthalmologist ASAP for a more definitive answer. A CT/MRI of the brain might be necessary, as well as other procedures.
