Summary
This study tested an FDA-approved eye drop (oxymetazoline) to help people with droopy eyelids after facial paralysis. The droopiness happens because nerves grow back incorrectly, causing unwanted muscle movements. The study included 36 adults and measured changes in eyelid position, facial movement, and quality of life. The goal was to see if the eye drop could improve symptoms as an add-on to other treatments.
