What Causes Eye Twitching In A Child?

My son has developed a twitchy left eye within the last 2 days. It looks like an exaggerated wink! No headaches or nausea, however he does not realise he is doing it. He is 5yrs old and plays video games at the weekend for a couple of hours. Please can you shed some light on this.
