A member asked:

Left eyelid twitching intermittently over the past week and a half. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fatigue: Local twitching like this (blepharospasm) typically is caused by fatigue. Rest the eyelids by not using cosmetics for a while, get a good night’s rest, and thus should be self limiting. Good luck
