Question 10

what's the cause of persistant twitching of the eye-lid?

Accepted Answer

Stress can cause: Persistent twitching of your eyelid can mean your nervous system is on high alert.  I've seen this in some of my patients experiencing anxiety & stress.  But, any irritation of the conjunctiva or cornea can cause the eyelids to twitch also.  And if it never calms down at all, it can be a sign of certain neurological problems.
