Lid myokymia: This type of twitching is often called lid myokymia and is often due to dry eyes (tears do not stay on eye as they should & cause a perceived sense of dryness of eye; meibomian glands may be clogged for instance), stress, caffeine intake, lack of sleep.

See a neurologist: or Orofacial Pain specialist. Most causes of orofacial pain are benign and harmless. However, if you have facial pain with eye twitching that seems to come without any known cause (e.g. trauma), call your doctor for evaluation and referral to a neurologist or OFP.
