A member asked:

Why would someone have involuntary eye twitches as well as excessive eye blinking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blepharospasm: Refers to excessive eye blinking, and the twitches could represent myokymia. Several underlying problems may cause this, and it is best to seek the consultation of an ophthalmologist to diagnose and achieve treatment success.
