3. Blurred Vision
The loss of muscular control on the affected side of the face results in blurred vision for people living with Bell’s Palsy. The condition affects the eyes’ ability to focus, resulting in a loss of vision sharpness and refractive errors like farsightedness, and nearsightedness, as well as presbyopia, or astigmatism.
While blurred vision is a common symptom of Bell’s Palsy, it could also be an underlying sign of a more serious neurological disorder or disease. Cloudy vision is not the same condition as blurry vision. Cloudy vision is a result of the development of an adverse eye condition, known as cataracts.
Visit your medical professional for an eye exam that includes slit-lamp, and spatial contrast sensitivity tests, as well as Snellen eye chart tests. The results of the test will reveal the extent of the damage to your vision and the severity of the palsy in this area of the eye.
