We have some exciting news to share! Our very own Dr. Clarissa Sobrio-Tan recently took to the national airwaves, appearing on UNTV to shed light on a condition that many people experience but few truly understand: Blepharospasms.
Raising awareness about eye health is a core part of our mission, and seeing Dr. Sobrio-Tan share her expertise in Oculoplastics with a wider audience is a proud moment for the entire team.
What Exactly is a Blepharospasm?
Most of us have felt a tiny, annoying twitch in our eyelid after a long night or too much coffee. However, true Blepharospasm is more than just a passing “tic.” During her interview, Dr. Sobrio-Tan explained:
- The Definition: It is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary muscle contractions and spasms of the eyelids.
- The Symptoms: It often starts with mild blinking but can progress to the point where the eyes stay shut for periods of time, making daily tasks like driving or reading difficult.
- The Triggers: Factors like stress, bright lights, and fatigue can exacerbate the condition.
Why This Interview Matters
Education is the first step toward effective treatment. Many patients suffer in silence, thinking their eye twitching is just a sign of “nerves.” By discussing this on a platform like UNTV, Dr. Sobrio-Tan is helping the public recognize when it’s time to transition from “waiting it out” to seeking professional Oculoplastic care.
“Cheers to eye health education for everyone! When we understand the ‘why’ behind our symptoms, we can take better control of our vision and quality of life.” — Dr. Clarissa Sobrio-Tan
