A member asked:
My upper right eyelid has been twitching for about 5 days.. nothing else just the eyelid. and it isn't bad to wear it forces my eye closed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ocular irritation: Likely causes of twitching of the eyelid (eyelid myokymia )are related to ocular surface irritation, whether its from dry eyes, eyelid inflammation, allergies, dust, wind, medications, or stress. First trial artificial tears 4-6 times per day. Warm compresses and lid massages may also help. See an eye md if these don't help.
