Blepharospasm
What is blepharospasm?
Blepharospasm is when you experience repeated blinking, eye
twitching or other eyelid movements that you can’t control.
Blepharospasm doesn’t affect the eyes themselves so you could have
normal vision, but you may become functionally blind as the condition
worsens because you’re unable to open your eyes properly.
So it’s important to speak to your optometrist if your eye keeps
twitching, even if it’s just a little uncomfortable or irritating at first.
If left untreated, your symptoms may worsen to the point that you’re
not able to drive or even work in some professional settings, which
could seriously affect the quality of your day-to-day life.
