Causes of eye muscle spasms

The occurrence of this phenomenon will make many friends feel worried. It not only affects their appearance, but also reduces their vision. Therefore, the symptoms of eye muscle spasms need to be treated urgently. Do not ignore them. For muscle spasms, some experts recommend the use of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, which is very effective. In fact, the detailed muscle spasms of each person are different, the causes are different, and the treatment methods are also different. Idiopathic blepharospasm often occurs between the ages of 45 and 60. Let us learn about it today.

Currently, the only effective method of medical treatment is to use botulinum toxin to block the main trunk or branches of the facial nerve, causing partial or complete paralysis of the facial muscles to stop facial spasm. However, the effect only lasts for 3 to 6 months, and repeated injections may cause permanent facial paralysis. Therefore, it is mostly used for patients with simple blepharospasm or those who are unwilling to undergo surgical treatment. Patients should choose the correct treatment method after experiencing blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm to avoid unnecessary financial expenses and new pain.

Idiopathic blepharospasm usually develops in people aged 45 to 60. It initially manifests as excessive blinking, which gradually worsens and progresses to uncontrollable blepharospasm. It starts with one side affected and eventually progresses to both sides, which has a great impact on vision. As the disease progresses, 12% of patients develop functional blindness, which limits their daily lives. Common symptoms are mild in the morning and severe in the afternoon. Uncontrollable spasms occur during conversations or other social activities or when emotions fluctuate.

Once such a situation occurs, the patient will be separated from normal social interactions, and people with neurogenic vasospasm will also develop idiopathic blepharospasm, causing cardiovascular circulation disorders. Some idiopathic eye muscle spasms may be accompanied by mouth retraction, strange facial opening and posterior neck spasm, which are called blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia syndrome and idiopathic orofacial dystonia. The symptom of facial myofibril is double vision. Patients under 10 years old suffer from pontine glioma, while patients over 15 years old suffer from demyelinating disease. In addition, brainstem tuberculoma can also cause facial myofibril twitching, which patients feel as nerve twitching. The above cases show that the role and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in neuro-ophthalmology are worthy of promotion.

Through the above statements, we know that eye muscle spasms are caused by the nerves in our eyes. Once such a situation occurs, the patient will be separated from normal social interactions. People with neurogenic vasospasm will also develop idiopathic blepharospasm, causing cardiovascular circulation disorders. Therefore, in response to this situation, if it occurs, we must seek medical attention as soon as possible. I hope the above suggestions can help everyone.
