Botox for Blepharospasm

Decoding Blepharospasm

“Blepharo” means eyes, and spasm means “sudden involuntary contraction of muscles.” An increase in lid closure frequency is called blepharospasm. A healthy adult blinks around 10-20 times a minute. However, the number can be less when reading or using a computer.

Blepharospasm Symptoms

In most cases, people develop blepharospasm without any symptoms, while others see a gradual increase in blinking or eye irritation. For those who develop symptoms, the initial symptoms may include squinting, eyelid heaviness, pain, or tension around the eyes. Other symptoms include:

• Dry eyes or watering eyes
• Light sensitivity
• Increased blinking
• Eye pain
• Soreness
• Irritation or discomfort in the eyelids
• Frequent eye movements

As the condition progresses, the symptoms may become more frequent. Patients may experience:

• Spasms in response to particular triggers, including bright lights or fatigue
• Spasms occurring more frequently
• Spasms forcing the eyelids shut for hours

If not treated, patients might also develop facial spasms. It might also affect your ability to see clearly as the closure interferes with the vision (no, it does not affect the eyes themselves).

Diagnosing Blepharospasm

Diagnosis depends on the clinical examination and the patient’s medical history. However, in most cases, blepharospasm is easily treated with Botox treatment.
Botox, when used in moderation, can relax excessive muscle contraction. When it is injected into the muscles, it blocks the signal from the nerve, thereby preventing the effects of blepharospasm.
The effect of Botox lasts for five to six months. A majority of people who take Botox treatment see positive results.
