Have your tried Lacrilube for your eye? You can buy it over the counter and it will enable you to make it through the day without taping your eye shut. I woke up with Bell's palsy several years ago. I taped my eye shut at night and put Lacrilube in during the day. It is almost like vaseline, but it lubricates the eye.

Nancy,

My husband has had bells palsy for 5 months. He has bad headaches and his left eye waters all the time. He tapes his eye shut at night and using a lubricant but, as soon as he wakes up it starts to water. Have you ahd any new results?

Hi, I know what your going through. My eye wants to roll up everytime I am outside. I use an eye patch by NEXCARE from Wal-mart. It is in the the first aid isle. The color blends well and my family says it looks much better. The cost is about $5.00 for a box of 20. I am sold. Best wishes to you and yours.
