Eye twitching

Eye twitching, or myokymia, is an involuntary eyelid spasm that usually affects the lower lid. It is typically harmless and resolves on its own, but persistent twitching may need investigation.

Common Causes of Eye twitching

  • Stress and fatigue
  • Excessive caffeine intake
  • Dry eyes
  • Digital eye strain
  • Magnesium deficiency

When to Seek Urgent Medical Care for Eye twitching

These signs may indicate a serious problem — don't wait, seek medical care right away:

  • See a doctor if twitching lasts more than 2 weeks, affects other parts of the face, the eye closes completely during a spasm, or is accompanied by redness or swelling.
