Effective botulinum toxin therapy for blepharospasm and involuntary eyelid spasms by Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti in Hyderabad.
Blepharospasm is a focal dystonia characterised by involuntary, forceful, repetitive closure of the eyelids caused by abnormal contractions of the orbicularis oculi muscle. In severe cases it can cause functional blindness.
Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti treats blepharospasm with precisely targeted botulinum toxin (Botox) injections around the eyelids, providing 3-4 months of relief per treatment cycle with high efficacy and minimal side effects.

Blepharospasm is involuntary, forceful eyelid spasms causing repetitive blinking or eye closure. Severe cases cause functional blindness despite normal eyes. It is a type of focal dystonia.
The exact cause involves basal ganglia dysfunction. Triggers include stress, bright light, fatigue, and caffeine.
Botulinum toxin injections around the eyelid muscles every 3–4 months are the gold-standard treatment. Dr. Bharath Kumar performs EMG-guided injections for precise targeting.
It is usually chronic but very well controlled with regular botulinum toxin. Most patients function normally between treatment sessions.
