Updates in Movement Disorders: Blepharospasm
Benign essential blepharospasm is an uncommon but disabling movement disorder of the eyelids, for which diagnosis is commonly either missed or delayed by 4-10 years. An estimated 20,000-50,000 people in the United States are affected by benign essential blepharospasm, with symptoms ranging from dry eye and increased blink rate to near functional blindness due to an inability to open their eyes. The range of possible symptoms can confuse the likelihood of an appropriate diagnosis. However, without a correct diagnosis, these patients can remain markedly impaired.
