Eyelid Twitching

There are different types of eyelid spasms, or uncontrolled twitching blinking of the eyelids. Some are minor, while others are troublesome and long-lasting. Benign Essential Blepharospasm is an involuntary condition where one or both eyelids twitch or spasm, causing the eyes to close for an extended period. Non-surgical treatments include medications and biofeedback.

Hemifacial Spasm

When only one side of the eyelid muscles and often the muscles around the mouth twitch, it is known as a hemifacial, or half face, spasm. Our physicians may be able to offer relief without surgery.

Thyroid Eye Disease

Thyroid problems, especially those involving the production of too much of the thyroid hormone, can be associated with eyelid, orbital and problems with vision. This condition is often referred to as Grave's Disease and can cause the eyes to feel dry and irritated and the eyelids may swell and retract. If untreated, symptoms can progress, causing double vision or in rare cases loss of vision. In addition to thyroid treatments from a primary care physician, patients also should see one of our ophthalmologists for regular monitoring. Medications, dark glasses and ointments may help relieve some of the symptoms until the condition is under control. Surgical options are usually reserved for patients whose vision and/or eye are at risk.
