Whats up wihm my eye?

Question

I was just sitting here, watching a movie and suddenly the bottom lid of my left eye starting to like twitch. IT doesn't hurt or anything, its just really bothering me because i have to blink a lot for it to go away, but it just comes right back. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I had that on my left top eyelid for about a month off and on. I did not go to the doctor for it and it just went away on it's own and never came back. I don't think it's much to worry about but if it's making you nervous or something. Go to your eyedoctor and get it checked out. Good luck!

Answer 2

Eye twitching, or myokymia, is an involuntary eyelid muscle contraction that usually affects the lower eyelid. The exact cause of an eyelid twitch is unknown. A twitch sometimes develops during times of increased stress. Twitching has also been associated with high caffeine intake, fatigue or excessive squinting. It can also occur after reading or working on a computer for prolonged periods of time.

An eyelid twitch is usually a sign that you need to take a break and relax. Sometimes a twitch will go away following a good night's sleep, but a stubborn twitch may last as long as three weeks.

So I wouldn't worry about it. Might be irritating but usually harmless =]
