Regarding vision, then you are ahead of most of us here who cannot see clearly without glasses. -best wishes, Lou

In terms of the topic of this post, well, first of all, please consider the third-party excerpts included below :

Quote:"When Botox and medications don’t work, surgery to make the eye stop twitching, called myectomy, removes some of the muscles around the eye. This can be effective but is usually only used as a last resort. Physicians try Botox and medications first before recommending surgery."

A) Disadvantages of Botox medications as a solution to Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking :



With all due respects and I mean no offences, actually, Botox injections are actually composed mainly of Botulinum toxin that are in fact medical derivatives from Clostridium botulinum bacterium(which causes botulism) that have been intentionally abused before for the purpose of chemical warfare owing to its intense toxicity.


Hence, please consider the excerpts below :


"Botulinum toxin is among the most poisonous substances known. The toxin, which can be ingested or inhaled, and which disrupts transmission of nerve impulses to muscles, is naturally produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Certain strains of C. baratii and C. butyricum can also be capable of producing the toxin.

Botulinum toxin has become well known in recent years for two reasons. First, the toxin has become a weapon in the arsenal of terrorists. Contamination of food is one route for infection with the toxin. The toxin can also be released into the air, which was attempted on at least three occasions between 1990 and 1995 by the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo. The government of Iraq admitted to United Nations inspectors following the 1991 Persian Gulf War that tens of thousands of liters of botulism toxin had been produced and loaded into weapons. The toxin was the most numerous of all the biological weapons then developed by Iraq.

Paradoxically, the other reason for the toxin's fame is the use of the toxin as a cosmetic enhancement (i.e., "botox")."

Whilst in terms of Botox injections for chronic Blepharospasm / rapid involuntary uncontrollable & seriously unmitigated non-stop eyelid twitchings / eye blinkings, that's also a troblesome solution as one would need to take "necessary" and perpetually continual periodical Botox injections of which each injections session would last for 3 - 6 months each, and one would need to take such syringe injections of Botox medications persistently and successively for the rest of one's life to mitigate and deal with one's chronic Blepharospasm disorder.


Next, it is worthy to take note that human bodies would tend to get immune to any medications especially the ones fed to them repeatedly from time to time, including Botox, particularly the ones composed of the identical chemical components as explained above / of the same version, and that's most probably the very reason why at certain times it didn't or fail to work.


Besides, the most important point remains that given that the ones suffering from chronic Blepharospasm / rapid, involuntary, uncontrollable, purposeless eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders who choose to take perpetually periodical syringe injections of Botox medications that are administered continually and periodically to their chronically twitching / blinking eyelids, well, they are actually and continually fed with such 100 % purely poisonous chemical substances from time to time in reality for the rest of their lives.


And as such, this category of persons are thus highly and potentially exposed to, taking & running the extremely higher and higher risks from time to time of getting the related unavoidable, and possibly hardly reversible side effects of droopy, ruffled eyelids, other facial distortions etc in the end.



[b]B) Disadvantages of Surgical Solutions to chronic Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking :



Well, in terms of surgical solutions to chronic Blepharospasm / rapid, involuntary, uncontrollable, purposeless eyelid twitching / eye blinking, surgeries are highly risky, extremely complicated and expensively prohibitive for such disorders.


Whilst the most important point remains that even when the related surgeries just turn out to be 100% successful from the doctors' / medical professions' points of views, the eyelid twitching / eye blinking / eyelids conditions would by no means and by no ways be able to be fully 100 % restored to the perfectly normal conditions such as the ones before the occurences / manifestations of the chronic Blepharospasm / rapid, involuntary, uncontrollable, purposeless eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders.


In short, even after the "successful" surgeries for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking, the conditions of the related surgerized eyelids can never and hardly be comparable to the eyelids of the other 100 % perfectly healthy and visually-normal people with no Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking problems at all.


As such, from the viewpoints of the ones taking such surgeries, the turnouts and outcomes of such surgeries for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking would invariably be felt as unsatisfactory in the end even in the cases whereby such surgeries are considered and deemed to be "successful" from the points of views of the doctors conducting them.


This is particularly & especially true, undeniable and hardly disputable when these people taking the related surgeries just come to realize the related obvious differences when they are comparing their surgerized eyelids with the 100 % perfectly healthy and normal eyelids of the other people and persons who are not having / suffering from Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders at all.


Hence, the related problems of inferiority complex may just potentially & subsequently arise in such scenarios.



C) The Key Differences of This Simple, Self-administered, Totally Needle-free, Totally Free-Of-Charge, Painless, Harmless, Speedily Effective & Meant For 100 % Final Once-and-for-all Full Recoveries Acupuncture / Acupressure Cure / Technique For Non-stop Persistent Chronic, Uncontrollable, Involuntary, Rapid Eyelid-twitching / Eye-blinking Disorders ( please refer to: http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1233341 ) Compared To The Perpetually Continual Botox Injections & Surgical Solutions To Blepharospasm / Chronic Eyelid Twitching / Eye Blinking :


Next, in terms of this needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cure for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders as stated in the title C above, well, the credibilities & acceptabilites of any of such self-professed effective remedy to / by any related other persons eventually would unavoidably, objectively, reasonably and naturally be subject to its genuinely unbiased effective therapeutical & curative outcomes and results as to whether such method / remedy could genuinely, effectively and efficiently deliver the desired reliefs, healings and cures to the ones having Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking in the end.


Whilst as for this simple, self-administered, totally Needle-free, totally free-Of-Charge, painless, harmless, speedily effective & meant for 100 % final once-and-for-all full recoveries acupuncture / acupressure cure / technique for non-stop persistent chronic, uncontrollable, involuntary, rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking disorders as mentioned in the related prior posts above, it has empirically once-and-for-all fully 100 % completely cured countless of people worldwide who are troubled with Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching on an ongoing basis till now so far.


Next, the whole course of daily instructed simple treatments as described above for that needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cure would be within a few weeks to a few months in order for the ones with Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking to get themselves 100% fully recovered once-and-for-all in the end. And the course / duration of such daily treatments is just like doing physiology treatments whereby the amount of times needed for eventual and full 100 % recoveries would then depend on and be subject to how mild or how severe and serious one's eyelid twitching / eye blinking conditions are.


Lastly and most importantly, once the ones practicing and trying out the related suggested needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cures for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking are 100 % fully cured once-and-for-all eventually in the end, their eyelids' conditions would then just turn out to be 100% totally no different from and be completely identical to their eyelids' conditions before getting the Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders.


In other words, having been 100 % fully cured once-and-for-all through that needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cures for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking after several weeks and a few months depending on how mild or how severe and serious one's eyelid twitching / eye blinking conditions are, the eyelids conditions of the ones previously having Blepharospasm / eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders would then just become 100 % totally similar and identical to the perfectly healthy and normal eyelids of the ones who are not having or suffering from the Blepharospasm / eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders at all.
