A member asked:

Why does my eye keep twitching randomly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benign: Most "muscle twitches" involving eyelid are secondary to myokymia, which is a benign flickering, usually associated with eyestrain, fatigue, stress, bright sunshine, etc. But blepharospam may explain your twitch, and, if painful, or increasingly uncomfortable, have your eye specialist evaluate, and treat as appropriate.

Good day . My right eye is twitching for almost 2 weeks now . It's not at random times , but rather 24/7 . There is no visable inflamation or pain . I was told to rest and took 3 days off to do just that however it hasn't changed anything .
