Stress: Mild eye twitching is usually caused by stress - emotional or physical. A major contributing factor is lack of sleep. If it is annoying but not painful and does not force the eye closed, it will often pass after several weeks. Cool compresses, artificial tears and rest (especially from repetitive visual tasks like computer work) can speed up the recovery.
