Benign Essential Blepharospasm

Benign Essential Blepharospasm (BEB) is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary closure of the eyelids, which is not life-threatening but can significantly impact daily life. The condition often begins with increased sensitivity to light and blinking, potentially leading to feelings of eye irritation and dryness.

While BEB symptoms can be mistaken for more common conditions like dry eye syndrome, they typically manifest as uncontrollable blinking and forced eyelid closure, worsening under stress or exposure to light. Although there is currently no cure, various treatments and strategies are available to help manage symptoms, with ongoing research aimed at understanding the condition better and developing new treatment approaches.
