Lower eyelid twitching is usually harmless. Getting enough rest, managing stress, reducing caffeine intake, and applying warm compresses can help relieve it.
See an ophthalmologist if the twitching persists for more than 2–3 weeks or becomes severe.

Get enough sleep. Hydrate yourself well. And also take a break from screen time. It is a type of muscle twitch which can happen in any other part of your body (for example twitching in arm/leg muscles post workout) nothing to worry about. I am presuming you are otherwise healthy with no medical or neurological history.
Next Steps
Relax mind and body
Health Tips
If it becomes too severe so as to interfere with your daily activities please consult an ophthalmologist

Hello mam,
Lid twitching is generally temporary
Mostly due to eye strain , stress, dryness, allergy etc
Try to reduce screen time and use a lubricating eye drop like Refresh tears 3 times a day
If it is persisting, consult a local eye doctor
