Oh yeah. If you are treating blepharospasm though just plain old saline eyedrops (NO astringents) are key. You also need to use them frequently, like once every 3h while awake for a couple of days. Drop screen time to absolute minimum and really try to get 3-4 nights of decent sleep time (if at all possible). Everyone is different and those of us that get these spasms know they can last for quite awhile, and are difficult to treat. Nonetheless, strongly recommend this protocol - give it a try next time.
