Bell's Palsy: How to protect your exposed eye at night
Seal your eye →One of the most terrifying symptoms of Bell's Palsy is lagophthalmos—the inability to fully close one eye. At night, this leaves your cornea completely exposed to dry air, dust, and pillow friction. Taping the eye shut with medical tape can rip out eyelashes and irritate the delicate skin. Leaving it open guarantees severe corneal drying, which can lead to permanent scarring or ulcers.
The Danger of Flat Sleep Masks
You cannot use a standard, flat cotton sleep mask to force the eye closed. Flat masks press directly against the open cornea. Every time your eye naturally darts during REM sleep, it scrapes against the fabric, causing devastating micro-abrasions to the surface of your eye.
Absolute Safety Without Pressure
When dealing with facial paralysis, nerve pain and discomfort are high. The Silkhouse 3D mask features a radically clinical design. We strictly prohibit external embroidered logos or heavy seams that could add weight to the paralyzed side of your face. You get a lightweight, 100% pure silk vault that guarantees absolute ocular safety while you recover.
