Too ealry to worry: Transient eye twitching is very common so don't worry. If it becomes constant and persists for 4-6 weeks a medical workup may be necessary.Your eye doctor should take a thorough medical history to make sure there aren't associated ophthalmologic, neurologic or infectious conditions.

Dr Charo and another doctor agreed
