What causes twitching eye and how can one control it?!


Question: If it's one eye, and hopefully it is, the most common problem is a lack of sleep or some stress problems; so ideally, you need to get more sleep or take a break from whatever it is that might be stressing you out.

But, I looked up the issue, and it seems that the problem could be from prolonged eye strain (ie. perhaps surfing the web a bit too much) or it could even be genetic, so you might ask a family member about that.

There's no real 'cure' for the problem, but if it's just a minor problem and it happens when you're tired, get some rest. If it becomes very serious, like it happens when you're fully rested and etc., see a doctor.

You could have bugs under your skin (parasites).

Occasionally, your eyelid may twitch at random. This involuntary twitching of your eyelid muscle typically lasts less than a minute. But it can be annoying.

The cause of eye twitch isn't known. But it may be associated with fatigue, stress or caffeine. You may be able to relieve eye twitch by gently massaging the affected eyelid. To do this, move your index finger back and forth from the inner to the outer part of the lid for approximately one minute. Use the same amount of pressure that you use on a computer keyboard. Massage may be more effective if you first use a warm, wet compress on the eyelid for 10 minutes.

An eye twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disorder. But in such cases, eyelid twitching is usually accompanied by other symptoms.
