A member asked:

What does an eye twitch or blink usually mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: May be due to fatigue, stress, not sleeping enough, reading for a long time. Muscles get fatigue. If painful or socially unacceptable, Botox injection may be used occasionally.

Dr Brown and another doctor agreed
