My eye has been twitching for 3 days now, (on and off) what could be causing it?

Stress: Usually an eye twitch is caused by stress or anxiety. And it usually goes away on its own. If your twitch doesn't go away or if it gets worse, schedule an appointment with your doctor.

Muscle spasm: What you describe sounds like a common condition called orbicularis oculi myokymia. It's a type of spasm in muscles around the eye. It tends to present in times of stress. It can cause the vision in that eye to vibrate, as well. If symptoms are severe or not resolving over time, you should see an ophthalmologist.
