This does not looks like infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having itching of the eyes.
Stye being an infective condition of the glands of the eyelids will not cause itching.

Hence it appears most probably like you are having allergy of the eyes. This requires treatment by the use of anti-allergic eye drops.

Twitching of the eyelids can be because of dryness of eyes, allergy of the eyes, stress and strain of the eyes, general stress.....
Hence use of artificial tears for treatment of dryness and multivitamin supplements is essential for treatment of both dryness and twitching of the eyes.

I usually prefer to treat this kind of conditions in my clinic with anti-allergic eye drops like olopatadine and artificial tears like Refresh Tears along with multivitamin tablets.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
