I am Fathih Faiz from Maldives, 17 years of age and there haven't been much problem with my eyes...though there were minor sight problems,which doctors consulted me will be alright. PROBLEM: My left eye have been blinking for about a week, some times it stops and begins again. I haven't gone to any doctors as there is no specialist in this island. Please help me.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having increased blinking of the eyes. This is called as blepharospasm. The common causes for this condition are stress, allergic conditions of the eye, refractive errors, increased intake of caffeine containing drinks...... Since you are not having any eye problem attention yo general causes like stress, avoiding caffeine containing drinks, use of antioxidant and multivitamin tablets will be of help. If it does not resolve then neurological causes like tics... need to be ruled out.
Hope the information is helpful to you. Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you With regards
