Blepharospasm

Known as focal which affects only one part of the body

There may be eye spams, squinting of eyes or twitching, frequent blinking and difficulties in keeping eyes open or eyelid closure and could be affected by bright lights
The condition may progress where symptoms become more frequent and facial spasms may develop
Treatment such as botulinum toxin injected into the muscles of the eyelids can weaken those muscles and relieve symptoms
Myectomy, a surgical procedure which removes some of the muscles and nerves of the eyelids might help stop eyelid closure
