Botox or supplements: Hi! blepharospasm, or eyelid twitching, can be annoying. Botox is very effective in treating and preventing. Also consider magnesium and calcium supplements, as low levels will make your muscles more likely to spasm. Good luck!

Blepharospasm treat: Oral medications (e.g. Baclofen) only work in some patients and have a success rate as low as 15%. Another medical treatment option that is very effective in managing the symptoms of this condition is the use of Botox. Ask your doctor for more information.
