Abstract:Background: Bell’s phenomenon, also known as the palpebral oculogyric reflex, is a critical reflex that protects the cornea. We developed an innovative, simple, and practical grading scale for Bell’s phenomenon that includes the inverse Bell’s phenomenon. Using this scale, we investigated the characteristics of Bell’s phenomenon among asymptomatic individuals in different age groups and examined the frequency of ocular surface lesions in asymptomatic and symptomatic participants with different grades.
