Why Do The Eyes Started Ticking?

My 5yr old daughter out of the blue today spiked 103.5 fever, she had fallen asleep and woke up when her dad come home said one thing then her eyes did this wierd ticking thing for about 5 seconds then she went back to sleep. She has since perked up and is playing but im wondering what would have caused the ticking and should I be worried? It almost looked like she was having a sezure but it was just her eyes
