I discovered my left eye winks uncontrollably. Its been there for more than a month. It will be off and on. I was told it was due to stress and lack of sleep. Its not the case with me. Please advice.

Try taking a calcium-magnesium-zinc pill 3 times a day with meals along with a good multivitamin daily. That should rule out muscle spasms due to a mineral or vitamin deficiency.

Yes, usually it is due to stress. Even if you don't think you are under stress, there may be something bothering you inside.
I find that if my life has been extra hectic, or if I have been in one too many stressfull situations my eye will start twiching.
But to make sure go to see an eye Dr., perhaps you need glasses.
If all else fails you will get an answer.

It could be a reaction to a stimulant. For example, coffee or cigarettes can trigger those as well.
Try cutting out everything that can act as an upper - chocolate, coffee, tea, soda, etc. and see if it goes away.
Good luck.

Duh!! See an opthamologist (eye doctor).
