See doctor: If the twitch is only infrequent then it is not to be too concerned. if the spasm is frequent and very bothersome then may need to see a neurologist. Muscle relaxants some times work but not well. Electrolyte problems can be a cause. See your doctor to further define the problem

Common causes: Eyelid twitching is very common, and can occur from stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, and overuse of stimulants such as caffeine and decongestants. Local eye irritation can also add to this, such as dry eye, allergy, and blepharitis (eyelid infection, inflammation). Eyestrain and excessive reading can contribute. Try reducing the stress/stimulant factors, and get an eye exam for the other causes.
