(Concern) Since having Bell's palsy, my eye feels dry and uncomfortable.

Ten months ago, I experienced Bell's palsy on the right side, and I used tape on my eye because it wouldn't close properly. Even now, my right and left eyes feel a bit uneven, and the right eye feels more stiff. Sometimes I feel a slight burning sensation or mild pain. It seems like my symptoms are gradually improving, but I wonder if post-Bell's palsy sequelae can last this long! I have been thinking about visiting an ophthalmologist, but I just waited for a few months. I hope it will get better with time. I'm not sure if it's presbyopia or lingering effects of Bell's palsy. Should I go to a large hospital for an eye examination?
