Dear Friend,
Your Description suggests that your orbicularis oculi is hyper-senstitive. Tablet neurobion can be tried to strenghten the nerves a bit, but will not help much. You will be required to consult an orbit/oculoplasty surgeon or neuro-ophthamlologist or a botulinium expert. botulinium injections into the orbicularis oculi will help the decrease tics without compromising on your natural muscular movements. these injects will relieve you of your problems for a period of 3-4 months and will require repeated applications. Take care

Long standing unilateral periocular spasms lasting over 6 years are likely to represent Hemifacial Spasm. I would consult with an ophthalmologist to confirm. Injection of Botullinum toxin have been helpful t o provide termporay (6 months) symptomatic relief.
