Causes of Eye Twitching
There are various causes of eye twitching in its serious and not so serious formats. The more common causes for eye twitching include:
* Corneal irritation or injury
* Stress
* Lack of sleep
* Fatigue
* Prolonged staring or eye strain
* Neurological disorders
* Possibly Hereditary
As mentioned above, even acute anxiety can sometimes results in eye twitching. Our bodies are remarkable machines, capable of doing extraordinary and unusual things at times. Eye twitching may be nothing more than a sign you need to take it easy, or need a little R&R, as much as it may be a sign that something more serious is going on. Don't forget, eye twitching is a relatively common phenomena. Ask just about anyone you know and they will probably tell you they have experienced eye twitching at some time or another. Many will probably have funny stories about eye twitching, while others may be able to confirm that eye twitching only occurs in certain situations (like before a big meeting or especially stressful situation).
Treating Eye Twitching
At this time, there is no successful cure for eye twitching, although several treatment options may reduce its severity. Some patients may request drug therapy for chronic eye twitching problems, though drug therapy is often considered an unpredictable form of treatment. If you are game however, researchers are consistently working on new ways to treat old problems like eye twitching. In the US and Canada for example, the injection of Botox into the muscles of the eyelids is an approved treatment. Botox, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, paralyzes the muscles of the eyelids.
**Just a note...I don't know about injecting anything into my eye, but I've had twitches before. I didn't realize how stressed out I actually was and then my doctor gave me a low-dose muscle relaxant to help me chill out. My twich went away soon after! Also, if you're in front of the computer all day like me, change the settings on your monitor, and try doing eye excercises. Here's a link to info on that. http://www.sheeptech.com/reduce-eyestrain and http://www.doctoryourself.com/eye_exercises.html**

This is called myokymia. Sometimes it is a response to stress, fatigue, too much caffeine, not enough potassium and a laundry list of potentials. The condition can manifest itself for up to 6 months. There is not a whole lot to be done short of remedying those above (and even then it may persist). You may hear that a botox injection will help, but that is generally reserved as a treatment of last resort and generally is recommended for forceful blinking of both eyes, rather than a twitch of the lid.
One anecdotal treatment is to drink tonic. It contains a small amount of quinine and this is purported to help. I don't know your age, but if you are over 21, you can throw a little gin and a lime in as well! Otherwise, you have to make friends with it. I feel your pain, mine twitches frequently, but I'm generally a little stressed!
