Blepharospasm is caused by abnormal brain function in the part of your brain that controls muscles. Symptoms can be triggered by something as minor as stress and being overly tired. Or it could be triggered by a neurological condition. Such conditions would include Touretteâs syndrome or Parkinsonâs disease.
The person's eyelids feel like they are clamping shut and will not open without great effort. People have normal eyes, but for periods of time are effectively blind due to their inability to open their eyelids. In contrast, the reflex blepharospasm is due to any pain in and around the eye. It is of two types: essential and reflex blepharospasm. The benign essential blepharospasm is a focal dystoniaâa neurological movement disorder involving involuntary and sustained contractions of the muscles around the eyes. The term essential indicates that the cause is unknown, but fatigue, stress, or an irritant are possible contributing factors.
