    The preparations of botulinum toxin A--Botox and Porton were injected into the orbicular muscle of eye in 18 patients with idiopathic blepharospasm or Meige's syndrome. Improvement was achieved in 17 patients; in 10 injections should be repeated after about 8 weeks. Minor side effects declined after several days.
