Why does my right eyelid twitch a lot?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hard to guess, but: Random twitching of an eyelid which happens in normal people is called myokymia (an involuntary, spontaneous, quivering of a few muscle cell bundles within a muscle). Myokymia starts and stops spontaneously. In the eyelids, it can last a few minutes to a few days. One should see an ophthalmologist (MD eye doctor) if such symptoms persist, keep recurring, or are combined with any other symptoms.

Nerve irritation: not to worry. Try rubbing the right temple when it happens
