Has anyone experienced their eyelid twitching? It may be for a few seconds or it could go on for days, depending on the cause. For the past few days, eyelid twitching is what I’m currently experiencing and as I work on a computer all day long, it has become quite of an annoyance, even though I’m well aware a computer should be the last thing I’m on.

Investigating this eyelid twitch further, I went to Google and discovered eyelid twitching is brought on by one or several things. Examining these causes wasn’t too surprising, in fact I actually guessed 60% of them. The most common causes for eyelid twitching (or eye twitching) are:-

Stress (*)

Fatigue

Lack of sleep (*)

Corneal irritation or injury

Prolonged staring or eye strain(*)

Neurological disorders

Possibly Hereditary

I have marked the causes with a (*) which I believe are causing my eyelid twitch. As you can see, these are probably the most common as we deal with all these factors every day, assuming you’re a workaholic like myself and sit in front of a computer. From here, I can choose to reduce the amount time spent on the computer and more time sleeping or I can continue my current regime and see what comes from it. Most people who are in tune with their own bodies and mind on a healthy state would probably do as I suggested firstly, however since my job entails working on the computer from 9-5, 5 days a week plus on the weekend, unfortunately I will be sticking to the second suggestion – pathetic right?

As I’m respectful for all the information I read and learn from, I just wish to state the above common causes were obtained from the Eye Doctor Guide. A very interesting website regarding the eyes (the pathway to your soul!). You can find more information here: eyedoctorguide.com/eye_problems/eye-twitching.html
