No: Eyelid twitch or a tick medically called myokimia, without other ocular signs is almost always stress related that is why they are commonly called "nervous ticks". But if you get leg cramps often especially during sleep you must see your family md & get a calcium phosphorous and PTH levels checked.

Twitching: Most of the time this is a benign condition. Covering one eye wouldn't help. If the twitching is spreading to other areas you should see a doctor.
