Bell?s palsy can affect the muscles around the eye and the eyelid, sometimes preventing the eye from blinking properly. Because the eye is unable to blink normally, not enough tears are spread across the eye to keep it moist. The cornea becomes dehydrated and dry spots begin to form. The eye may become extremely dry and inflamed, often leading to exposure keratitis, a condition caused by the cornea constantly being exposed to the atmosphere
