Facial paralysis results in loss of the ability to blink, which is the primary means of protecting and lubricating the eye. The eye becomes dry and ulcerated and eventually vision loss ensues. No therapy exists that can reliably restore blink and hence treatment is mostly palliative today. BLINC is an implantable device that artificially restores eye closure. It is wirelessly powered and readily implantable. BLINC has achieved eye closure similar to natural blinking in human cadaveric models.

面部瘫痪会导致眨眼能力的丧失，而眨眼是保护和润滑眼睛的主要手段。眼睛变得干燥和溃烂，最终导致视力丧失。目前还没有可靠的治疗方法可以恢复眨眼，因此今天的治疗大多是姑息性的。Blinc是一种可植入的设备，可以人工恢复闭眼功能。它是无线供电的，很容易植入体内。Blinc在人体身体模型上实现了类似于自然眨眼的闭眼效果。
