Eyelid opening abnormalities
My father is suffering from eyelid opening abnormalities. He is 64 year old man. He is unable to open his lids at will following closure. The inability to reopen the lids is evident during spontaneous reflex blinking means it reopen half or less than half. He also experience difficulty in keeping the lids open once they have been manually lifted up. There were few episodes of involuntary dropping of the eyelids causing involuntary eye lid closure.
Please assist what is this problem and what its remedy and cure.

it might be due to muscles and/or nerve weakness. please give him methyl cobalamine tab or inj 1500 iu .if you give tab give it daily for one month and if ink then one ink on alternate day for 10 ink.the best way would be to give ink 1st and then maintain the level by tab.also use lubricant eye drops 2to3 times daily e.g. teardrop.
