Vision

Blepharospasm (dystonia of the eye muscles) is the form of dystonia that affects the eyes in the most obvious way, but other forms of dystonia may also affect vision.

Tremors and spasms may make it difficult to insert contact lenses or wear glasses.

Bifocals create a special challenge. For some people, “executive” or “progressive” lenses are easier to use than the traditional bifocal lenses.

Changing the midline of glasses may make them easier to wear.

Informing your eye doctor about dystonia and how your individual symptoms affect you will help you work as a team to address your vision needs.
