Been getting this weird twitching on the top of my eye lately, not the eye itsel!


Question:

Been getting this weird twitching on the top of my eye lately, not the eye itself but the eyelid?

It randomly spasms where it contracts inward repeatedly. This isn't noticeable to anyone but me unless you look closely. I believe it is doing this cause I spend a lot of time at the computer and from staring maybe it is causing my eye to dry up so it is spasming to retain moisture? Is this anything more serious though? Like if my eye is too dry will I lose vision or even something worse? Do I need a multivitamin or something else? Help me please!


Answers:

It sounds like a facial tic. These are most common in children, but sometimes occur in adults. Usually, it's temporary. In rare cases, it's connected to a seizure disorder. If it's severe, there is medication to help with it. Generally, the tic will go away in a short time without any treatment. Stress is often a factor. Trying to eliminate stresses and get more rest will often help. Good luck.
