It's generally harmless. What causes Blepharospasm (eyelid twitching) is largely unknown, although some educated guesses are being made. In most cases, blepharospasm seems to develop spontaneously. Some blepharospasm patients have a previous history of dry eyes and/or light sensitivity, but others report no previous eye problems before onset of initial symptoms.

Some drugs can induce blepharospasm, such as those used to treat Parkinson's disease, as well as sensitivity to hormone treatments, including Estrogen replacement therapy for women going through Menopause; blepharospasm can also be a symptom of acute withdrawal from benzodiazepine dependence.

* Drug therapy: Drug therapy for blepharospasm has proved generally unpredictable and short-termed. Finding an effective regimen for any patient usually requires trial and error over time. In some cases a dietary supplement of magnesium chloride has been found effective.
* Botulin toxin (Botox) injections have been used, to induce localized, partial paralysis. Among most sufferers, botox is the preferred treatment method. Injections are generally administered every three months, with variations based on patient response and usually give almost immediate relief (though for some it may take more than a week), from the spasming. Most patients can resume a relatively normal life with regular Botox treatments. A minority of sufferers get minimal or no result from Botox injections and have to find other treatments. For some, Botox diminishes in its effectiveness after many years of use. An observed side effect in a minority of patients is ptosis or eyelid droop. Attempts to inject in locations that minimise ptosis can result in diminished ability to control spasms.
* Surgery: Patients that do not respond well to medication or botulinum toxin injection are candidates for surgical therapy. The most effective surgical treatment has been protractor myectomy, the removal of muscles responsible for eyelid closure.
* Dark glasses are often worn because of sunlight sensitivity, as well as to hide the eyes from others.
* Stress management and support groups can help sufferers deal with the disease and prevent social isolation.
