A member asked:

Under my right eye been twitching all week what can be the problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Orbital myokymia: The twitching is typically benign and self limited and often a response to fatigue, stress, lack of sleep, eyestrain, etc. Unless the myokymia spreads over face, is associated with visual changes, becomes painful, or upsets you, waiting this out over next few days would be an acceptable process.
