Hi. i have been haveing eyelid spasms for over a month. its around my right eye. is it safe to use a usb heated eye pad just to relax my muscles?

Spasms: Most likely you have myokymia, or less likely blepharospasm. Both should be self-limited and should resolve. No problem using warmth but do not burn yourself by too much heat. If this persists or worsens, perhaps see eye specialist.
