What is life with blepharospasm like?

As blepharospasm advances, you may not be able to control blinking or keep your eyelids open. This can affect your ability to perform daily tasks. You may need to adjust your lifestyle by:

• Taking public transportation if it’s not safe for you to drive.
• Wearing glasses with special filters, such as rose tinted or FL-41 lenses, to reduce sensitivity to light.
• Knowing when to ask for help, like when you are crossing the street or need assistance taking care of yourself.
• Adjusting your home or work environment, so it’s easier to access important objects.
• Adjusting work or other activities if you can no longer see well enough to perform them.
