Eye twitch and treatments

Many people may have experienced repeatedly eye blinking involuntarily. This annoying and embarrassing situation is actually called eyelid twitch or eyelid spasm. Slight or occasional eyelid twitches are normal and require no special concern.

However, severe eyelid spasm is quite harmful that many consequences are possible. Self-annoying results include vision obstruction, irritability as well as completely eye closure. These consequences are measureable. But the economic and social embarrassment of severe eyelid twitches is beyond one’s control.

Currently the most common means to address severe eyelid twitching is botulism injection. This infection is believed to offer relief within two weeks after treatment. And botulism infection can completely cure eyelid twitching after three to four months.

Administered into the areas around the eyes, botulism injection is effective in treating severe eyelid spasm. In particular, the upper lid muscles, the brow and the lower muscles will be applied. Widely accepted to cure eyelid twitching on one hand, botulism injection is also associated with some side effects on the other hand. Those effects include drooping eyelid, double vision and blurred vision. Fortunately, these temporary side effects will disappear quite soon.

In addition to botulism injection, many forms of medications are also thought to be effective in treating severe eyelid spasm. They include Artane, Cogentin, Valium, Klonapin, Lioresal, and Modopar and so on. It is necessary to consult an eye doctor before buying a certain type of these medications because different medications have different effects. Neurologist’s monitor is also welcomed.
