Time: Most eyelid twitches are a response to stress. In your case, the stress of the procedure may have irriated a few of the muscle fibers, leading to the twitching. Cool compresses may help, but this condition usually will resolve on its own within a few weeks. If it does not, or if the twitching becomes more severe or painful, see your eye doctor.

Twitch: Try artificial tears 4x day. Possible topical steroids may help.
