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

Maybe it is some kind of hallucination.. You may wish to see a psychologist about it. Certain illness might trigger it..

You could be having spasm of the muscles around the eye. You first need to diagnose the cause and treat it if necessary. If there is nothing, try botox

It could be a tic. Have you ever seen anyone and you were talking to them and their eye started twitching? Thats a tic, if it doesn't stop I suggest you go to the hospital. It isn't anything  fatal, just annoying and I am sure they could give you something to take care of it. It could just be nerves as well.

nerves sometimes 'short-circit' and give you a reaction it soould not. like turning on a light in the living room and the tv fuzzing. how about a eye twitch,same concept.

The most probable causes are\n1) Sleep deprivation\n2) Lack of vitamins\n\nSleep deprivation causes eye strain, as they don't receive the rejuvination effects of 8 hours of rest.  This causes strain on the ciliary muscles, and causes twitching much in the same way that sprinters' legs can be seen to twitch from exhaustion after a big race.\n\nA lack of vitamins is also an issue that should be considered.  Vitamins and minerals are essential for the proper working and coordination of your body.  Amino acids, in particular, require certain compounds that the body cannot produce.  Amino acids are associated with protein, and therefore muscles.  Again, the ciliary muscles may not be properly maintained and result in twitching.\n\nTry having a few naps during the day, taking multivitamins, or eating a well-balanced diet.

It's probably stress or caffiene. I take multiple vitamins everyday, and I get eye twitches that drive me nuts! My problem was curbed by cutting down on the caffiene and stress a bit.

I think you need to see a doctor.  It could be a nerve issue or muscle or both, since the nerves and muscles work together.  An opthomologist is who you want to see.

It's possible that you may have allergies.  I have that going on all the time when I forget to take my meds.  But if it gets bad enough, both eyes can be irritated - and that's not fun.\n\nYou should probably see a doctor to see if you have them, and which ones you have.  They may prescribe Allegra or Claritin.

Twitching can happen because of stimulants (over stimulation of the nervous system).  If you drink a lot caffeinated beverages, you might want to try skipping them for a while and see if it goes away.\n\nAlso, as someone else suggested, also try taking vitamins to help aid your body's health and nervous system.

twitching of muscles may be due to changes in the level of chemicals in blood especially calcium, also magnesium etc.\nIf the condition persits pls see a doctor, who might get a blood chemistry done.

I get the same thing every now and then. I seem to get it with a combination of lack of sleep and stress.  The twitching usually goes away soon enough, but its really annoying while it lasts. Its nothing to worry about unless it becomes painful.

I had an eyelid twitch for about 2 months.  I went to the doctor and he said it was stress.  When i changed jobs, and my stress level decreased, the twitch went away.  Hope that helps.

An eye twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disorder. But in such cases, eyelid twitching is usually accompanied by other symptoms.\n\nThe cause of eye twitch isn't known. But it may be associated with fatigue, stress or caffeine. You may be able to relieve eye twitch by gently massaging the affected eyelid. To do this, move your index finger back and forth from the inner to the outer part of the lid for approximately one minute. Use the same amount of pressure that you use on a computer keyboard. Massage may be more effective if you first use a warm, wet compress on the eyelid for 10 minutes.

Whenever I look at the sun (not often, be assured) I don't seem to feel any sudden sneezes coming on. Perhaps your sinuses are shaped as to when you tilt your head back, you trigger a sneeze? Maybe it's temporary, because of a cold or bad sinuses or allergies.\n\nYou should try looking into the sun (not for very long) in the morning or evening when you don't have to tilt your head and see what happens.
