A spectacle device to treat facial nerve paralysis.

Article 1979 EN

We describe a new method to prevent ocular complications in facial nerve palsy. A device mounted on a spectacle frame senses the blink of the normal eye and closes the lids of the paretic eye by levers which rest on the upper and lower lids. It provides a physiologic replacement of function and prevents corneal exposure.
