Left Eye Twitching
My mom (55 years old) has been experiencing twitching in left eye and sometimes a Lil bit around the eye for about a month now. First went to a general physician who suggested that it is because of sleep. And gave her a medicine Meloset 3mg for a month. But after proper sleep as well the twitching didn't go away ..so 3 weeks ago went to an ophthalmologist who said that the nerves in the left eye are very weak which is impacting the vision as well and gave her few eye drops (mofdrib-t & glynac plus) and a tablet (scarvit) for 20 days. But the twitching still occurs about 4-5 times a day what can be the reason?
