Superior Oblique Myokymia (SOM) is a relatively rare condition that affects the muscles of the eye. Some synonyms for SOM include Superior Oblique Muscle Twitch, Superior Oblique Fasciculation, and Superior Oblique Myoclonus. Regardless of the name, the condition causes an involuntary twitching or movements of the eyes, which can be quite distracting and bothersome. People with SOM may experience double vision, headaches, and eye strain. Treatment may include medication to control the twitching or even surgery in more severe cases. While SOM is not a life-threatening condition, it can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making it important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
