Try closing your eyes and relaxing. This is generally caused by stress, poor nutrition, or lack of sleep.

According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. Making muscles exercise on their own (spasms) are one sure way to do this.
Suggestion? Take 4 big deep breaths - inhaling and exhaling - but not holding or doing fast. Does that stop the twitches, for a moment?
If it does, next try making your lids move. Bat your eyelashes, wiggle your eyebrows. Does this stop the twitches momentarily?
Then, low blood sugar may be the cause.
For relatively long short term relief, go to the kitchen and get some protein, meat, a can of tuna or whatever, and eat it. Also have some carbohydrate, like a handful of chips, or some carrots/celery and some nuts or peanut butter. Eat at least 2 ounces of the protein. Then drink a glass of water and do something else for 30 minutes. You may find your twitches have lessened a bit.
Chronic low blood sugar can also be the cause of a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out.

AAA batteries can cause "twitching" I would recommend a non-copper top brand and some Glenlevit

facial nerves are twitching. Mine does this due to stress.

do you wear glasses? This happens to me when it's time to get a new prescription on mine. Your eyes are straining and the nerves get weak. You should go get them checked out.

Its called nerves. If you would just relax it would eventually stop.

It was happening to me before and my supervisor told me it meant someone was coming to see me. Low and behold, my girlfriend came to see me and it stopped.
