Do you wear glasses ??

If not it's probably time to go get your eyes checked , you might need some . If you do wear glasses , it's probably time to go get them checked anyways and most likely update your prescription .

My eyes twitch alot also and I wear glasses . Time for me to go get mine checked again ... I KNOW that my prescription has changed ... I'm just to lazy to go and get it done ... plus I don't feel like spending more money on it right now .

Stress was taking a toll on me last fall and it was twitching almost nonstop for 4-5 months!!! Things are better now though and it barely does it anymore.


Hope you have better luck with that than I did!

What is Eye Twitching or an Eye Twitch?

Eye Twitching, or Blepharospasm, is an involuntary eyelid twitching. It is also referred to as an eye spasm or eye twitch. The term blepharospasm really applies to any abnormal blinking or twitching of the eyelids caused by uncontrolled contractions of the muscles around the eyelids. 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 blepharospam may be associated with dry eyes, Tourette’s Syndrome or other neurological problems and may be more serious. In general, patients experiencing blepharospasm have normal eyes and any disturbance in their vision is due to the forced closure of the eyelids. BEB should not be confused with ptosis, or a drooping of the eyelids that may be caused by a weakness or paralysis of the muscle in the upper eyelid. Minor eye twitches usually do not worsen. If they do worsen or persist, it is important to seek the advice of an eye care professional.

Blepharospasm usually starts with abnormal or excessive blinking that is accompanied by general eye irritation. Early on, the excessive blinking may only occur as a result of being exposed to bright lights, being tired or if you are under a great deal of stress. The frequency of the spasms may increase throughout the day. Sometimes the spasms may resolve during sleep and not even occur after a sound night’s sleep until you have been awake for many hours. As the condition worsens, the spasms tend to get stronger and may result in the eyelids being tightly shut for a few hours at time making it impossible for the person to see.

Eye Twitching, for most people, is just annoying, involuntary 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.

this happens to me all the time, but it isn't my *eye* that is twitching, its the area directly below my eye, shoulders, and legs that twitch. I've heard that sleep deprivation and stress cause it.

i don't think the crank has anything to do with it though.:huh
