VMT – Facial Nerve<br />
Ask the patient to close his eyes<br />
and keep them lightly closed as if<br />
in sleep. If there is a gap visible<br />
between the upper and lower<br />
eyelids ( Lagophthalmos ) ,<br />
measure the gap.<br />
If there is no gap, ask him to<br />
close the eye tightly, and try to<br />
pull the lower lid down and see<br />
whether the patient is able to<br />
keep his eyes closed against<br />
resistance.<br />
If he is able to do so, the grade is<br />
S, else the grade is W.<br />
If there is a gap when he closes<br />
his eye, the grade is P.<br />
Also note whether the upper<br />
eyelid is able to cover the cornea<br />
completely.<br />
