Why is my eyelid muscle involuntarily twitching? just one side. blepharism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myokymia: Sounds most consistent with myokymia, which is usually quite benign, and is associated with eye strain, fatigue, stress, etc. Blepharospasm represents more of a eye closure, and has different causes. A general ophthalmologist can help all of the above.
