7 Causes for Eye Twitching. An eye twitch is an involuntary spasm of the eyelid muscle that often happens in the upper lid. The sensation, for most individuals, is that of a gentle tug on the eyelid but some others may experience the twitching to be more of a strong spasm forcing the eye to be completely closed before opening it again.
Eye twitches are commonly known as Blepharospasm, which is defined as the repetitive and rhythmic contraction of the eyelid muscles (which usually affects both eyes). Eye twitches are also less commonly known as Fasciculation, which is defined as the twitching or continuous movement of muscle fiber groups. Sometimes eye twitch is confused with Nystagmus, which is the jerking or jumping of the eye itself. This is an entirely different condition and an optometrist or ophthalmologist should be able to make a proper diagnosis after a full examination. Simply stated, eye twitches are muscle spasms and, like most muscle spasms, they generally have no long term side effects.
