Further Outpatient Care
- Rarely, eyelid myokymia may occur as a precursor of blepharospasm, Meige syndrome, hemifacial spasm, facial myokymia, and spastic-paretic facial contracture.
- Advise patients to return for reexamination, if there is a change in symptoms.
Deterrence/Prevention
- If precipitating factors can be identified, avoidance can reduce the frequency of episodes.
Prognosis
- Prognosis is excellent in most cases.
Patient Education
- For excellent patient education resources, visit eMedicine's Procedures Center. Also, see eMedicine's patient education article BOTOX® Injections.
