What is another word for blepharospasm?
Pronunciation: [blˈɛfɐɹˌɒspazəm] (IPA) 
Blepharospasm is a medical condition that refers to involuntary spasms or twitches in the muscles of the eyelids. In layman's terms, it is often called an ''eye twitch''. The occurrence of blepharospasm can be frustrating, particularly when it occurs for extended periods of time. Several synonyms are synonymous with blepharospasm, including eyelid spasm, eye spasm, and myokymia. At times, a blepharospasm may cause the eyelid to close involuntarily and be difficult to open, resulting in eye fatigue or strain. While most instances of blepharospasm are fleeting and go away on their own, severe blepharospasm may require medical attention and treatment.
