Being nervous could cause that in some people, and mineral imbalance may also do that. In view of other problems with your eyes it may be best to see a professional to examine your eyes; though loss of sight may not happen with twitchy eyes it is still important to get your eyes checked and probably use artificial tears.

Suspect that you are susceptible to orbital myokymia and your trigger might be dry eyes with irritation. See ophthalmologist and consider testing for Sjogrens Syndrome
