After a car accident, the eyes will open when you sleep, which is caused by incomplete eyelid closure. When accompanied by eye discomfort, you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, so as not to aggravate the injury.
If the function of the facial nerve is affected after a car accident, the orbicularis oculi muscle can not contract normally, so the eyelid can not be completely closed. If there is a laceration in the eyelid area during the car accident, and a scar is formed after the healing process, it will also pull the eyelid and cause the eyelid can not be closed, all these cases are called blepharosphenoid fissure closure insufficiency, which can lead to exposure and drying of the cornea if not treated, resulting in corneal injury.
Patients can apply erythromycin ophthalmic ointment to the eye to cover the corneal surface while sleeping to avoid corneal damage due to exposure, and then actively treat the primary disease, such as surgically loosening the scar in the eyelid area to cure blepharospasmosis.
