Help! what could be causing my lower left eye to have spasms?

Blepharospasm: Many things can cause the eyelids to have small spasms. Cut back on caffeine use and make sure your eyes are well lubricated. If the spasms become unbearable, get an exam from your ophthalmologist.

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.
