Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Eyelid muscles twitching occurs due to stress, fatigue, decreased sleep, anxiety and excessive caffeine intake.
For management, decrease intake of Tea, coffee or cigarettes.
Take adequate sleep.
Take calcium supplements and fresh fruits.
Avoid too much working on monitors or Viewing television.
If not improving, clonazepam maybe taken for few weeks.
