When I had my stroke I had a facial palsy as well, so I have no muscles down my right side and it gave me a major squint, I have to have 2 lots of botox in the little bit of muscle I have, then my surgeon will split this muscle and divide it so I have some side to side movement. I have already had 3 ops to lift the lower lid raise the eyebrow and gold in the eylid so it closes.
As they no I had my palsy through the stroke it is called facial palsy, I have started drinking through a baby cup but still use a straw for cold, I eat a lot of soft food but it still gets stuck as only eat on left side, as no muscle on the right only one little bit in the eye. I am under 2 eye clinics at LRI Mrs Burns she has done uplift on lower lid eyebrow lift and just had gold inserted in top lid to help close, your eye is watering a lot to fight of infection, try lacri-lube an ointment this should help I also where a patch to help with the double vision, these are all done under local. Then I see Prof Gottlob she is hopefully doing the squint I have to have botox injected into the muscle as it has contracted with lack of use, then she will msplit the muscle and reattach on the side to give me a little side to side movement. if you need more info let me no
