A member asked:

Should i be concerned that my eye lid has been twitching for over two weeks now?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: Lid twitching is a benign condition. If you can't open your lids or others ask you why are you blinking so much, seek care.

Common problem: Try rest, resting eyes, artificial tears 4x day, decreasing caffeine. See ophthalmologist if no improvement.
