Blepharospasms

Common symptoms of blepharospasms include:


• Uncontrollable blinking or twitching of the eyelids.
• Difficulty keeping the eyes open.
• Sensitivity to light (photophobia).
• Eye fatigue or irritation.
• Symptoms that worsen with stress or fatigue.

If left untreated, blepharospasms can significantly impact quality of life by limiting vision and daily functionality.

Dr. David Gay specializes in advanced treatments for blepharospasms, offering solutions tailored to each patient’s needs. Common treatment options include:


• Botox Injections: Botox is a highly effective treatment for blepharospasms, relaxing the overactive muscles and reducing involuntary spasms. Results typically last 3-4 months.
• Medications: In some cases, oral medications may help manage symptoms.
• Surgical Options: For severe cases, procedures like myectomy, which removes or weakens certain eyelid muscles, may provide long-term relief.

Recovery and results depend on the treatment used:


• Botox: Minimal downtime, with symptom relief starting within a few days and lasting several months.
• Surgical Procedures: Recovery time varies, but most patients experience significant improvement in eyelid function and comfort.

Dr. Gay will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and ongoing symptom management.
