When Can I Stop Taping my Eye Shut at Night with Bells Palsy?

September 19, 2012

I have had Bells Palsy for about 3 months and I can now close my eye during the day and if I nap it stays closed. However, I am afraid not to tape it at night, because I am not sure if it will stay closed. When is it safe? Can I try it and will I wake up if the eye opens? Thank you. Denise
