  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We asked 66 patients who underwent botulinum-toxin therapy for blepharospasm regarding the subjective symptoms. Predominant complaints before treatment were blepharospasm (100%), photophobia (83%), dry eye sensation (44%), epiphora (39%), involuntary oral movements (29%) and tinnitus (26%). The incidence of eye symptoms was independent of the objective severity of blepharospasm. Complaints persisted in some patients even after objective improvement after treatment, including blepharospasm (67%), photophobia (46%) and others (21%-15% ). Above findings illustrate that subjective feelings of patients with blepharospasm may be different in the daily life than in the consultation room. Due consideration of symptoms and emotional changes of patients is necessary in the diagnosis and planning of treatment for blepharospasm.
