A member asked:
I'm scared my eyelid is twitching and i'm taking fml (fluorometholone) to treat it for 10 days 3x/day because my eye doc. says i have dry eye.

Eye twiching: If you mean the eyelid blinking of fluttering, it my be myokymia due to stress or simply dryness of the eye. If the eyelid(s) contract fully, and is very noticeable it could be blepharospasm or hemi-facial spasm. See an ophthalmologist. Most likely stress related.
