Inclusion Criteria

  • For the Moebius Participants and congenital bilateral facial paralysis the following inclusion criteria are required for Part I of the study:
  • \* Males and females between the ages of 18 and 65 years
  • \* Normal visual acuity or corrected to normal vision
  • \* The participants must be willing and able to participate in the measurements
  • \* The participants must have given written informed consent to be included in the study
  • \* Clinical diagnosis of Möbius Syndrome or congenital bilateral facial paralysis from a registered neurologist;For the Volunteer Control Participants for Part I, the following inclusion criteria are required:

  • \* Normal visual acuity or corrected to normal vision
  • \* The participants must be willing and able to participate in the measurements
