Sponsor's own description

Idiopathic blepharospasm (IB) is a rare but well characterised adult onset focal dystonia that may cause severe visual disability. The most effective treatment is with periodic injections of botulinum toxin into the pre-tarsal and / or pre-septal orbicularis oculi muscles bilaterally. However, even with treatment, practical visual function often remains compromised. A subset of IB sufferers find that eye opening improves with focal unilateral digital pressure usually on a specific point on the temple. The Investigators have developed a spectacle mounted spring-loaded prosthesis (the "Pressop" device) to apply continuous individually localised focal pressure on the temple to mimic the effect of finger pressure. The Investigators recommended a trial of this simple safe device in those IB patients who report improvement in eye opening with focal digital temple pressure.
