Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having excessive blinking. This is called as blepharospasm.
This can be caused by inflammation of the eye. If no cause can be found out it is called as essential blepharospasm.
This can be treated by botulinum injection if it is not responding to treatment.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
