What causes eye twitching?

Eye twitching can usually be caused by a few different reasons. The following factors can cause eye twitching:

1. Stress and Fatigue: Stress and fatigue experienced in daily life can cause the eye muscles to contract involuntarily.

2. Caffeine and Alcohol Consumption: Excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption can trigger eye twitching.

3. Eye Strain: Looking at bright screens like computer screens for long periods of time can tire the eye muscles and cause twitching.

4. Nutritional Deficiencies: Certain nutritional deficiencies, such as magnesium deficiency, can cause eye twitching.

5. Allergies: Allergic reactions in the eyes can also trigger twitching.

I will ask some additional questions for the history:

• How long has this been going on?
• Does it increase at certain times during the day?
• What is your sleep pattern?
• Do you take any supplements or medications?
• What is your stress level?

If you provide this information, I can help you better. However, as general recommendations, it may be useful to apply stress management techniques, reduce caffeine and alcohol consumption, sleep regularly, limit screen time and pay attention to your diet.

If your complaint persists, it would be a good idea to consult an ophthalmologist or neurologist.
