Good Morning, An eyelid twitch is a repetitive involuntary spasm of the eyelid muscle. If it's chronic and uncontrollable it's a sign of benign essential blepharospasm. Very rarely, eyelid spasms are a symptom of a more serious brain or nerve disorder. Most twitches will resolve on their own without the need for treatment. Causes:- Dizziness Eye irritation Eyelid strain Fatigue Lack of sleep Physical exertion Medication side effects Stress Use of alcohol tobacco or caffeine Though exact cause is unknown.
