Although patients with facial palsy often complain of disturbed eye blinking which may lead to visual impairment, a blinking analysis is not part of routine grading of facial palsy. Twenty minutes of spontaneous eye blinking at rest of 30 patients with facial palsy (6 with acute palsy; 24 patients with facial synkinesis; median age: 58 years, 67% female), and 30 matched healthy probands (median age: 57 years; 67% female) was smart phone video recorded. A custom computer program automatically extracted eye measures and determined the eye closure rate (eye aspect ratio [EAR]), blink frequency, and blink duration.
