Blepharospasm
Blepharospasm is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary and repeated contractions or blinking of the muscles surrounding the eyes, without the person being able to control them.
Common symptoms: These include involuntary closing of the eyelids, excessive blinking, light sensitivity, and eye irritation; in some cases it interferes with everyday tasks such as reading or driving.
Common causes: It is related to disturbances in the nervous control of the facial muscles, and it is sometimes associated with fatigue, stress, or irritation of the eye surface.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the appropriate professional to study this type of involuntary movement. If the eyelid spasms become frequent or bothersome, it is worth discussing it with a specialist for a careful evaluation.
