The common causes for twitching of the eye lids are anxiety, intake of excessive caffeine containing drinks like coffee, lack of sleep, dry eyes as a result of over use of computer or laptop, eye fatigue....

Since in your history there are common causes like anxiety, use of computer no need to be worried.
