Hi there....
Thanks for writing in.
There are many causes of twitching of the eyelids...
Allergies, stress, eye strain , (sitting in front of the computer for prolonged periods), eye/corneal injury.
Sometimes electrolyte imbalances or calcium deficiency can also cause twitches.
Most eyelid twitches get better on its own.
However, I would advise you to visit an ophthalmologist who can rule out conditions pertaining to the eye.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
