This looks like a muscle or nerve twitching issue. Since you also had similar twitching in the biceps earlier, it would be better to evaluate the pattern properly rather than guessing. Nothing serious from your description at present, so don’t panic. Do connect for a consultation I’ll guide you regarding the possible causes, required tests if needed, and a proper treatment lifestyle plan to help the twitching settle faster.

Eyelid twitching (Ocular Myokymia) is a common, usually benign condition caused by spontaneous firing of the nerves supplying the eyelid muscles. Since you have a history of this occurring in other muscles like the biceps, it suggests your nervous system is currently in a state of 'hyperexcitability.' While you mention stress is 'nothing much,' even low-level chronic stress combined with digital eye strain (given your -3.00 refractive error) and potential micronutrient imbalances can trigger these persistent spasms."

Health Tips
Caffeine Audit: "Reduce your intake of coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Caffeine is a powerful stimulant that can significantly worsen muscle twitching by increasing nerve firing rates."
Warm Compresses: "Apply a warm compress to the twitching eye for 5 minutes before sleep. This helps relax the localized muscle fibers and improves circulation to the area."
Caution: "Do not ignore the twitching if it spreads to other parts of your face or if your eyelid begins to close completely (blepharospasm). These require a more detailed neurological evaluation."
Red Flags: "Seek a medical review if the twitching is accompanied by facial weakness, drooping of the eyelid, or if the twitching persists 24/7 for more than 4 weeks without any break."

Muscle & eye twitching (fasciculations) suggest Magnesium or B12 deficiency, or stress-related overload. No red flags here. Check Mg, B12, calcium levels. Reduce caffeine, improve sleep. Consult me privately for a personalised plan.
