Botox and Blepharospasm

Blepharospasm is a medical condition that refers to an uncontrollable blinking of the eyelid. Sufferers have great difficulty performing simple tasks such as walking, since the continuous blinking makes it hard to see the path on which they move. It generally affects both eyes, although only one eye may be affected when the condition is just beginning to take root.

The preferred treatment for blepharospasm is Botox. A single injection produces results that last for a few months, therefore treatments must be repeated. However, most sufferers prefer getting Botox to other treatments such as surgery and medication, since it involves a noninvasive procedure that achieves fast and effective results.
