What can you do about persistent eyelid twitching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually benign: You likely have myokymia, which occurs with fatigue, lack of sleep, eye strain, and even metabolic imbalance in your body. Usually benign, and not a sign of brain disorder. An ophthalmologist can check you further and assist in helping control this.
