Abstract

Apraxia of eyelid opening (ALO) is a non-paralytic motor abnormality characterised by difficulty in initiating the act of eyelid opening without blepharospasm. We found that wearing goggles improved the difficulty of opening eyes in two patients with ALO with parkinsonism. Wearing goggles is a simple method for improving daily life in patients with ALO.
