Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bell’s palsy can affect the eye and eyelid on one side, just as it can the mouth, eyebrow, and other parts of the face. When it does, the sudden paralysis of the facial nerve that controls the muscles around the eye can cause drooping and make it impossible to blink normally or full close the eyelid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bell palsy is a disorder of the nerve that controls movement of the muscles in the face. This nerve is called the facial or seventh cranial nerve. Damage to this nerve causes weakness or paralysis of these muscles. Paralysis means that you cannot use the muscles at all.
