Eye twitch: Other common causes of eye twitching are fatigue, dry eye, and allergy. Caffeine use can also cause twitching. For the dry eye, try an artificial tear, such as theratears. For ocular allergies, try zaditor (ketotifen) or Pataday drops. If your symptoms do not improve, seek care from your local ophthalmologist.
