Eye twitching help?

Question

My eye keeps twitching is there anyway I can like calm the twitching down or stop it? I have had it for a couple of days now and it driving me crazy when I am trying to concentrate and read at school!! ~Thank you~

Answer 1

Eyelid Twitch.
Minor eyelid twitches require no treatment as they usually resolve spontaneously. Reducing stress, using warm soaks, or correction of any refractive error may help. Some ophthalmologists recommend reducing caffeine usage.

Answer 2

The reading is a big clue. Your eye is straining and it will cause the eye twitch. I can suggest to you. Make sure you get enough sleep. Loss of sleep can be hard on the eyes. Continuous use of computer can cause eye twitching. Always take a break every 15 minutes from reading or computer use. It will give your eyes a chance to relax. If none of that helps. Try to take a Vitamin A and D supplement. Husband would get thumb twitches and that seemed to take care of it. Happy reading.

Answer 3

I had an eye twitch but it was a muscle around my eye causeing the problem (not "the eye" itself). If you have a muscle aroind the eye causing the probelm, believe it or not botox will get rid of it. The other option (if it is the eye itself) would be to give your eye some rest, stay off of the computer, don't take in a lot of caffeine (caffiene causes eye twitch sometimes) and think about taking some eye health supplements with lutien.

Answer 4

I had this happen to me a couple of times and you probably have something called "Blepharospasms" which is a scientific way of saying, non-injury eyelid twiching. Generally, this sort of twitching is caused by one or more of the following: stress, stimulants (like sugar, caffeine or nicotine), or lack of sleep. Try getting a solid 8 hours a night and lay off caffenated sodas, coffee and sugar for about a week. If it's still going on after about ten days, go to a doctor, but it's probably just one of the above.

Answer 5

I have it too, and it is normal and just comes and goes. Here is what The Univ. of Michigan Kellogs Eye Center Says:

Eyelid Twitch:
The cause of minor eyelid twitching is unknown. A slight spasm of the lower eyelid or even both eyelids is common and of no concern.

Treatment:
Minor eyelid twitches require no treatment as they usually resolve spontaneously. Reducing stress, using warm soaks, or correction of any refractive error may help. Some ophthalmologists recommend reducing caffeine usage.

Answer 6

Not sure how to make it stop and yes,it gets pretty annoying. Not getting enough sleep usually causes the eye twitch.

Answer 7

it could be an uncontrollabel response like when your about to lie about something. Resolve not to do that which makes you nervous. Or it could be u need to time out shut down and get some rest or relax.

Try a power nap. I noticed that problem a while ago. and going of and being still somewhere helped me try it and let me know if it works it worked for me

Answer 8

That happens to me when I don't get enough sleep. For me it won't be constant, but maybe about every 20 minutes and will last a few days. Not sure that sleep is the real cause but that is when I get it!

Answer 9

If its from watching too much tv or playing too much video games, try not to look so close at the screen or rest your eyes every hour or so. Try to get more rest in general and irritate them.

Answer 10

It has happened to me also even right now, probably because I wear contacts and it gets dry sometimes it does that. Maybe let your eyes rest for awhile.
