Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that you are having twitching of the eye. This is because of contractions of the extraocular muscles. The common causes are usually stress, increased intake of caffeine containing drinks, allergies of the eye....
Most of them will resolve by themself and no specific treatment is required other than the correction of the underlying cause.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


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

Thank you
With regards
