Excessive blinking is not an uncommon problem. Sometimes it is allergy, sometimes habit and least often, a nervous "tic."\nSudden onset of frequent blinking of the eyes is annoying and perhaps worrisome. It may be due to a benign motor tic of childhood, a "nervous condition" which may mysteriously appear, last a few months, and then go away. It is unclear if benign motor tics are brought on by tension or anxiety. If the eye blinking progresses to involve facial muscle grimacing, verbalizations that are uncontrolled, or other motor tics, this may signify a more serious neurological disorder, called Tourette's Syndrome, which should definitely be seen and managed with the help of a  neurologist. \n\nSometimes children develop frequent eye blinking from conjunctivitis; or from blepharitis, which is irritation along the edges of the eye lashes sometimes caused by Staph germs. If you have seen any pus or thick drainage from your eyes or if you see little tiny blisters or crusting along the edges of the eyelids, you should consult an ophthalmologist.\n\nGood luck.

Blink alot and you may not hurt. But after a few hours of just staring then you may be in some eye pain.

I have the same thing, but only when I close my eyes.  It is very bothersome when I'm trying to go to sleep, but it eventually goes away.\n\nBaseCurve needs to read the whole question as well as the additional details.

I have the same problem, I just found out I need glasses for it, but also for distance and stigmatism.  Nice combo, basically I need bifocals at the age of 25. :(  But the doc did say the computer is bad for the eyes, so every 20 minutes, you should look 20 feet away and look at that place for 20 seconds. 20/20/20.  It is supposed to help your eyes refresh.  Sleeping a full night helps too, don't forget to blink, use drops if needed.  The problem with computer screens is that each tiny pixel in the screen is moving on its own, almost flickering.  We can't see it because the flicker and pixels are so so small, but the eye needs to use more energy to focus on that screen, thus damaging your eye sight.  Get glasses, computer glasses, they are supposed to help, I am waiting to buy mine because I don't have eye insurance in 2006, but will sign up for it in 2007.

It's actually normal.  I know that if some people stare into flashing lights (kinda like a strobe light)  it can make them go into seizures. it has something to do with the brain and the light, I am not real sure what could cause it maybe it is the motion of the light and the brain not being able to process it fast enough.

I will sometimes have spasms on my left eye lid.  It is usually due to stress or lack of sleep.

blinking is a reflex. it is controlled by the nervous system. you blink periodically without thinking about it to keep the eyes moist so that they don't dry out. also blinking helps to clear away small particles on the surface of the eye such as dust. then when something comes too close to your face, you blink as a reflex to protect the eyes from foreign objects.

Twitchy eye is quite funny, like being tickled. It happens when you're tired or stressed, and you think everyone else can see your eye having a little fit, but they can't. I don't know how old you are, but your blurred vision could be 'silent migraine'. This can start in children and as they grow up, the headaches follow. It could also be staring at a computer screen! Have your eyes checked. :-)

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.

I know this sounds wierd but my mom always made me do this when I had a stye. Rub a gold ring (real gold) on the eye it always helped me

Sometimes, all day. I have only one that blinks, the rest of the clocks I have automatically go on the correct time, the wall clocks are all battery operated. So, the one that blinks, could blink all day unless someone hollers, "Hey, Mom come and fix this clock." My response, "You're old enough to read, look at the top of the clock, it says what each button is for."

yeah I agree it's a muscle spasm..coz it happens to me when I get stressed coz I sit all day on the computer...my doctor told me that the eye muscles are very weak..so they get affected easily by stress..just relax them a bit and take vitamins with Zinc

lol yes i have met a few people that have a 'lazy eye', this often pops into my mind, i tend to just look straight at them, whatever you do, do not look over your shoulder to where the lazy eye is looking as they may be quite offended
