A member asked:

Is continuous eye twitching a form of seizures.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Twitching: Unlikely. More likely blepharospasm from neuromuscular irritability. If persistent, see ophthalmologist for potential botox treatment. Get sleep, apply warm moist compresses, and decrease caffeine intake
