Most people develop a minor eyelid twitch at
some point in their life. Eye twitching or Blepharospasm is a repetitive and uncontrollable
blinking of the eyelid. It generally occurs in the upper eye lid, but it can
occur in both the eyelids. It usually affects the eye muscles of both eyes and causes involuntary movement that reoccurs
every several seconds for a minute or two. In most cases, minor eyelid twitch
will disappear without even noticing if you get enough rest and/or reduce or
eliminate your intake of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and wash your eyes
regularly.
Although
the cause is generally unknown, it may be associated with:
- Fatigue
- Stress
- Caffeine
Sometimes,
eye twitching can be a sign of eye conditions such as:
- Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids)
- Dry eyes
- Light sensitivity
- Pinkeye
Diagnosis of Eye Twitching:-
You
should see an eye doctor if you have:
- Twitching that persists for more than one week
- Twitching that completely closes an eyelid
- Spasms that involve other facial muscles
- Redness, swelling, or discharge from an eye
- A drooping upper eyelid
