The most common known causes of eye twitching include fatigue, stress, anxiety, and excessive caffeine intake. Eye twitching may appear in response to irritation caused by smoke, dust, or a foreign body in the eye. Allergies and infections may cause irritation that leads to twitching.
Excessive intake of alcohol and caffeine can result to eye twitches. You can try to cut down your consumption of alcohol, coffee, soda or tea to prevent eye twitching. When you have an eye allergy and you rub your eyes, the allergen can be released into your lid tissues and tears which can cause eye twitching. While you can take an anti-histamine to treat the allergy, this can cause a dry eye problem which is also one possible cause of twitching. To accurately determine the cause of your eye twitches, you should consult your optometrist so he can assess your condition properly. Treatment. 1. Get your eyes checked by an optometrist, as reading or computer eye strain is a common cause. 2. Rest, discontinue caffeine and alcohol.
