Eye lid twitching: Is caused by stress, fatigue and eye irritation. You can control all of these. Eye drops, artificial tears , are a good place to start.

Myokymia: Random twitching of an eyelid, which happens in normal people, is called myokymia (an involuntary, spontaneous, quivering of a few muscle cell bundles within a muscle). Myokymia starts and stops spontaneously. In the eyelids, it can last a few minutes to a few days. It can be caused by stress, dry eyes, lack of sleep.
