A member asked:
What happens if you have persistent eyelid myokymia, can you botox or even have surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lid myokymia: Eyelid myokymia [that is not due to dry eyes (tears do not stay on eye as they should & cause a perceived sense of dryness of eye; meibomian glands may be clogged for instance), stress, caffeine intake, lack of sleep] can be treated with botox (more common) or steroid injections. See your eyemd if symptoms are associated with twitching of whole side of face or to discuss further treatment options.
