    Eye Twitching, or Blepharospasm, is involuntary eyelid twitching. It is also referred to as an eye muscle spasm. The term blepharospasm really applies to any abnormal blinking or involuntary eye twitching of the eyelids caused by uncontrolled contractions of the muscles around the eyelids

    Sometimes people experience the twitching under the eye and others may experience the twitching in their right eye or twitching in their left eye. In simple terms it is a blinking disorder. One type of blepharospasm, Benign Essential Blepharospasm or BEB is a blinking disorder that is not life threatening and has an unknown causes. Other types of blepharospasm may be associated with dry eyes, Tourette’s Syndrome or other neurological problems.

    Eye Twitching, for most people, is just annoying, involuntary eye muscles spasm surrounding the eye that go away over time. The spasms usually occur a few times and come back. Spasms that cause twitching on one side of the face are known as hemifacial spasms. These are typically due to some form of irritation to the facial nerve This type of spasm requires visiting your family doctor who may refer you to a neurologist or an eye care professional, in order to determine the cause and what treatment might be appropriate


    Mild Eye Twitching
    Will usually go away on its own
    Cut down on stress
    Rest up


    Severe Eye Twitching
    Medication (different depending on situation) usually to relax muscles
    Botox injections
    Surgery only for the severest of cases that hamper vision


    Eye Twitch - Preventive Measures
    Stress management - keep stress under control
    Get plenty of sleep to keep eye muscles rested
    When in vision intensive scenarios such as computer work, take frequent breaks to give the eyes a break

    common eye twitch causes include:
    Stress
    Irritation of the Cornea or Conjunctiva
    Fatigue
    Lack of sleep
    Prolonged staring at a computer screen or television
    Nervous system disorders

    Just to add a note to the great answers already given.

    I have recently had this problem although it wasn't severe it was REALLY annoying. It would twitch every 5 minutes or so.

    I found out that usually wearing (or not wearing in my case) corrective lenses in the wrong prescription can cause fatigue and in turn cause this. I started wearing my glasses for a few days and poof!! The twitching completely went away..perhaps you just need to go get an eye exam :)

    Lack of B12 will make your eye jump. Take a supplement every day to get rid of the problem and keep it at bay.
