Hi Israel....sorry I can't help with this one but just wanted you to know I do read the blogs. Botox may work but you need to speak to your Consultant I would think or even your PSP nurse.

Take care & keep smiling Love Hazel B xx

Hi Israel

My dad has PSP and he is getting Botox on 19th September for his eye spasms. His consultant was the one who said that he needed to have it done. It has taken a while for his appointment to come through as the referral letter went to the wrong dr!

Botox injections can be a helpful treatment for involuntary eyelid closure, it needs to be done by an trained practioner, discuss with your consultant. The injection only lasts 3 to 4 months and then needs to be repeated.

Hi Israel,

My husband Geoff is receiving Botox injections for involuntary eye closures - it's fab, he is delighted with the results but unfortunately it doesn't help his vision. Good luck to you x
