Twitchy eye

Since Sunday I think I have had a twitchy eye the upper lid of my left eye flutters/spasms fairly offen, Any body had this? I have been ill since Monday night although this did start before.

I do feel tired/run down so assume this is the cause although I had roughly 14 hours sleep last night.

Stress, tiredness and/or depression are the usual suspects. I'd say you're a little run down, especially if you've been ill.

Also I have Jelly Babies,Cabury's Fingers or Victoria Sponge Cake. Which is most likely to make me feel better and not give me the shits.

It's often the first sign of the change from what I've read......this 'twitch' does it normally manifest itself when looking at men with big moustaches in tight trousers? If so it has begun..........

Stress and dehydration.

Don't worry, its not noticeable to someone talking to, just irritating.

Its called fasiculation

I get it a few times a year, dunno why but it seems to go away on its own after a few days...

There are old wives' tales of sticking a bit of elastoplast on the ticking muscle to stop it.

I've no idea if it works though.

Two questions:-

Do you need/wear glasses?
Have you been for an eye test recently?

I need reading glasses, and have had the twitchy eye thing on occasions. When I asked my optician about it, he said that is sometimes caused by eye strain. If your vision is faltering slightly your eye, or eyes, are constantly trying to focus but never quite manage to. Consequently the muscles around your eye are in overdrive, the twitching is just a reaction to this, similar to getting the shakes after an adrenalin surge!

I got this for a while, maybe 2-3 months, but it just went away at some point, hasn;t done it for many months now.

I get twitchy eyes when I'm really tired.

Another vote for stressy/tired. I get it fairly regularly and my eye hasn't fallen out yet.
