I have had an eye twitch in my left eyelid for over 5 months. It happened right after a chiropractic adjustment.

diva29 thank you for your question.  An in person consultation is necessary to determine your best course of action.  It appears that the most likely cause of your twitch is Dry Eye syndrome  (keratitis sicca).  If this is properly treated the hemifacial spasm may resolve.  This may include:Artificial tear drops Lubricant ointment Punctal plugsHumidificationAs this does not currently affect both eyes, this is not blepharospasm as this is a bilateral disease.  If it continues neurologic imaging may be necessary. Once all of the above takes place, botox may be part of the treatment regimen 

Thank you for submitting your concern.Yes Botox can be done to improve a twitch of the eye. For the best results I would highly recommend you consult with a Board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck. 

Thank you for sharing your question.  Eyelid twitching can most definitely be treated with botox and I would see a specialist to avoid eyelid drooping issues.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for the question. There are different forms of eyelid twitching. If your twitch is only one lid, then it is called myokymia & can be treated with Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. Since myokymia can be temporary, the injections are not often needed every 3-4 months, and in some cases repeat treatment is not necessary.
I recommend seeing someone experienced with evaluating & treating facial twitching or spasms — an Oculoplastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon.

Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding your eyelid twitching. While there are conditions such as: essential blepharospasm (affects both sides) and hemifacial spasm (affects only one side) which cause twitching of the eyelids, many people experience episodes of temporary and benign eyelid twitching, that comes and goes for a day or a few days and then stops all by itself. This benign temporary condition is called eyelid myokymia. When the myokymia persists and won’t go away, small amounts of Botox can be used to stop the Malen sure you consult a good Oculoplastic surgeon, someone who specializes on the eyelids.

There is quite good chance that the neurotoxin (Botox, Xeomin or Dysport) will be of great help in a very small dose. There is also a good chance that the response will last a little longer than an average duration in aesthetic applications. It will take few days before you may see response so you must be patient. Good luck!

You mention that your eye doctor did many tests and determined that you have dry eye. Eyelid twitching can be a result of dry eye. Have you reviewed all of the treatment options for dry eye with your ophthalmologist (aside from just fish oil)? I would suggest that you treat your dry eye with the guidance of a certified ophthalmologist to see if you note any improvement. If not, then blepharospasm can be treated with botox. Good luck. 

Blepharospasm can be treated with botox. In order to determine if Botox will be effective in your case, you need to visit a plastic surgeon who will examine you in determine if Botox is necessary. Good luck from New York City
