Most of the time the "twitching" is caused by fatigue, sleepless nights, eye strain, constant rubbing, tired eyes from computers work, dry eyes, infection, stress, maybe even a hair or eyelash in the eye. Eye strain of many forms can trigger the response. It usually will clear up on its own. There is little that you can do except to moisten the eye, and clear it of any debris and/or get more sleep. \n\nIf the twitching does not stop in a few weeks, consult a Dr. Or if the eyelid does not fully close or if it is closing on its own. There are some serious underlying problems when this occurs.\n\nIt is usually nothing to worry about though, just try to drink plenty of water and get enough rest and sleep! Hope this helps.

Could be an early sign of retinal detachment, glaucoma, or other serious eye disease. Have you been to the eye doctor? I'd say that would be your best bet. Start writing down when you experience the snow and try to pay attention to what happens just before & after the experience. This may give you clues as to if it's a precursor to something or maybe a reaction to something.

It can be very freaky when this happens. I suffer from it myself sometimes when I am stressed or tired. There is no cure that I know of that will get rid of it. but I find if I gently rub the area it calms down after a while.\nBasically it is just a muscle spasm. We get it sometimes in other parts of the body all the time but don't necessarliy notice. \nTo put your mind totally at ease, pop to your local optician. They will be able to check the health of not just your eye but your blood pressure and other health issues too.............. unbelievable but true. The eyes tell us so much!!\nIt may be that you have slight eye strain too. You may need to have a pair of low prescription glasses which will aid your vision and take the stress from your eyes. \nHave a couple of days away from the computer if you can. or make sure you take lots of breaks away from it. This can sometimes cause slight strain if you are sat too close or for a long period of time.\n\nGood luck

You should see an eye doctor to be sure. It could be stress, however, it could be something else. I'd check with a professional to be sure.

Occasionally, your eye may twitch at random. This involuntary twitching of the eyelid muscle usually lasts less than a minute. But it can be bothersome. The cause of eyelid twitching isn't known. However, it's often associated with fatigue and stress. You may be able to relieve the twitching by gently massaging the affected eyelid.\n\nAn eyelid twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disease. But if that is the case, it's usually accompanied by other symptoms.

There are a lot of things that could cause this.  You really should get it checked out by your eye doctor just to make sure it isn't a sign of anything more serious.

Yea, I was getting that earlier today. It's just eye strain, your muscles in your eyes are tired. I get it when looking at a computer screen for too long. Just focus on something far away for a little bit.

See an eye doctor.\n\nIt might be something on the lens, or it might be something on the retina. Or it might be some completely different thing.

Well, the question actually asked WHY his eyelids twitched.\n\nThe most common things that make the muscle in your eyelid twitch are fatigue, stress, and caffeine. Once spasms begin, they may continue off and on for a few days. Then, they disappear. Most people experience this type of eyelid twitch on occasion and find it very annoying. In most cases, you won't even notice when the twitch has stopped.\n\nMore severe contractions, where the eyelid completely closes, are possible. These can be caused by irritation of the surface of the eye (cornea) or the membranes lining the eyelids (conjunctiva).\n\nSometimes, the reason your eyelid is twitching cannot be identified. This form of eyelid twitching lasts much longer, is often very uncomfortable, and can also cause your eyelids to close completely.\n\nMore Here:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000756.htm\n\nAs for the tingling... there are various reasons:\n\nCommon Causes: \nLocal injury to the nerves under the skin\nLack of blood supply to the area\nPressure on the nerves, caused by the following: \n  Herniated disk\n  Tumor\n  Abscesses\n  Arthritic bones\nToxic action on nerves (such as the effects of lead, alcohol, and tobacco)\nDiabetes and other metabolic abnormalities\nVitamin B12 deficiency\nHypothyroidism\nCarpal tunnel syndrome\nDrugs \n  Chemotherapeutic agents\n  Chloroquine\n  D-penicillamine\n  Isoniazid\n  Nitrofurantoin\n  Parenteral gold therapy\n  Phenytoin\nLong-term radiation\nTransient ischemic attack (TIA)\nStroke\nMultiple sclerosis (a less common cause of numbness)\nSeizures\nMigraine  \n\nhttp://www.shands.org/health/information/article/003206.htm

It sounds like just an infection.  The best thing to do is not wear your contacts for a few days.  Even if your eye goes back to normal its best to wait another day or two afterwords before using your contacts again.  If these symptoms don't subside, i would seriously recommend seeing an eye doctor.

A muscle spasm is a muscle that tightens up and hurts until it is released by rubbing. What causes it, is either lack of Vitamins in the body and or tension in the tendons.
