Good Morning,

There are many reasons as to why an eye would twitch.

Possible eye infection such as conjunctivitis aka pink eye.
Allergies
An injury to the eye or inner eye
Diabetic Retinopathy
Blunt trauma to the eye
Drug use

If the twitching is bothering you, interrupting your daily activities, or is causing pain; please make an appointment with your doctor for further observation and examination. Your doctor can best decide how to treat this issue for you.

Good luck and have a good day.

its probably a temporary tick people get them all the time
if it does not stop, go see a doctor.

Twitching is most likely caused from stress, lack of sleep, or caffeine OR any combination of the above. Sometimes you can get the twitch and it stays around for a week or so b/c of stress, lack of sleep, and caffiene. These tend to go away on their own.

If this problem stays around longer and becomes more problematic I would suggest seeing your eye doc for further evaluation.

I've heard this happens when you don't get enough sleep, though Im not sure. Try having some consecutive days of enough sleep and then see if it stops. Hope I could help.

There's a lot of it about.

It's essentially stress and fatigue, so the ideal treatment is more sleep and a more relaxed lifestyle (Should life allow!)

In some people there is an association with marginally reduced portassium levels and, there, drinking fresh tomato juice or eating bananas can make a difference.
