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

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.
