Is usage of pentoxifylline or cinnarizine justified for a ticking eye? tests haven't show anything so far but my md is switching my meds for the tick.

Opthalmologist: Is this a twitching of the eyelid or a complete spasm closing the eyelid? Twitches are often caused by caffeine excess, eye strain, stress, and anxiety. I'm not familiar with the use of the above mentioned medications for eyelid twitching. Have you consulted an opthalmologist or perhaps a neurologist if the problem is very frequent and bothersome.

A week ago I found a very light, bull eye like bite on my arm; no itching, no pain, no tick attached, next day it disappeared on its own, so I did nothing, but should I still worry about diseases tick might have carried? Should I take a test?

My eyes get red often. It's been happening for the last 3 weeks or so. I was in hospital recently with a tick bite. The doctor did give me eye drops but it helps temporarily. I've also been getting cramps in my calves and pins and needles.
