A member asked:
My left eyelid has been twitching a couple of times a day for over two weeks,i have been getting rest,what could be the cause ?

Myokymia: Most often eyelid twitching is due to muscular irritabiity termed myokymia which is annoying but quite benign. I may be associated with eye strain, fatigue, or stressors, but may occur without any clearcut etiology. It the twitching involves the facial muscles in addition, best to have this evaluated.
