I need help taping eye shut at night because eyelid won't close?
hey everyone, i just got diagnosed with bell's palsy and the doctor told me to tape my eye shut at night. He gave me some tape, but its really uncomfortable to take it off in the morning. It pulls on my eyelid and eyelashes and also leaves a little bit of the adhesive on my face. Is there a correct way to do it without ripping out my eyelashes? The tape he gave me is cloth like and as sticky as masking tape. Using those bandaid like patches over my eyes don't work well either because my eyelid can still open with it on. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!
thanks so much for your concern over my diagnosis but it isn't really as bad as it seems. its kinda fun making faces in the mirror and not being able to move half my face. it was just scary when i didn't know what it was.
Maybe you could get the tape and cut a thin "slice" of gauze about the width/length of your eyelashes and tape vertically so that your eyelashes don't get pulled and your eye stays shut because of the pressure. That's pretty tough though... Maybe saline eye drops and an eye patch?
