A member asked:
I've been having constant upper right eyelid myokymia for 2-4 months. should i see my pcp or opthalmologist?

Myokymia: The involuntary muscle twitching you are experiencing in your eye is generally not considered dangerous and should resolve on it's own by 3-4 weeks. Symptoms beyond this time frame should definitely be evaluated by your PCP.
