Prob blepharospasm: blepharospasm is a very common entity, which is episodes of rapid twitching of the eyelid. Usually it is brought on by fatigue, or poor sleeping for some time; also eye muscles strain could cause it. Perhaps you should have a routine ophthalmology (eye) doc check-up.

Eye twitching is: not something to be nervous about. Please see your doc. It can happen for a variety of reasons and/he she will help you figure this out. Do you have other twitches? If so, low magnesium may be part of the cause but see doc first.
