Complete Information on Blepharospasm
Posted by admin under Health
Blepharospasm seems to produce spontaneously. Some blepharospasm patients have a past story of arid eyes and/or soft sensibility.
Blepharospasm is an abnormal, involuntary blinking or spasm of the eyelids. Benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) is the most common type of blepharospasm. Blepharospasm is a type of dystonia. Blepharospasm usually begins with a gradual onset, often precipitated by eye irritation or emotional stresses. With progression of the disorder, episodes of blepharospasm tend to worsen in severity, often resulting in embarrassment and even loss of vision temporarily due to lid closure. In some cases, the spasms are so prolonged and forceful that the patient is functionally blind for up to several hours.
