Hi: On and off I have mild twitching around the left eye.The right eye is not affected at all. Sometimes it is the upper portion of the eyelid, other times more in the outer corner of the eye. It is not all that annoying as it is very slight, but it worries me since it keeps coming back every few weeks, or sooner. I know about blepherospasm. Is this the beginning stages of it or just some type of tic? Anyone with any experience drop a line. I have AB/SD and no other forms of dystonia. Thanks. Keith

I thought it was eye strain because I have very poor vision in my right eye due to optic nerve drusen and glaucoma. I have lost most of my perifrial vision so I thought it was eye strain. I read several on this board who have both problems. | Recommend | Alert Where am I?

Don't panic - I thought it was some other form of dystonia as well. Of course if it gets worse, see your neurologist. Cheers Narelle Adelaide/Australia ADSD 19 years | Recommend | Alert Where am I?

They seem to come and go as well. I have often wished that the nerve that is malfunctioning in my vocal chord would move just to my eye and give me some relief for a day or two! Guess I'd better be careful what I wish for! :) rkc AB/SD | Recommend | Alert Where am I? Original message Top of thread Current page
