What treatments are available in blepharospasm?

There are three types of treatment for blepharospasm:

• Medications you take by mouth, including drugs that block involuntary muscle movements (anticholinergics), but their effect is usually limited.
• Botulinum toxin injections, which weaken the eye muscles’ ability to twitch. Botulinum toxin is one of the most effective treatments for blepharospasm. There are several variations available.
• Surgery (myectomy), a procedure to remove part or all of the overactive eye muscles.
