Eyelid twitches are common and mostly not harmful but, they are often irritating or somewhat embarrassing. There are more fast-twitch muscle fibres in the eyelids than anywhere else in your body and when your general health is not quite right, these muscle fibres will contract erratically being noticeable. Most eyelid twitches come and go, but some can persist for weeks.
There are common causes that should be addressed first in order to relieve an eye twitch:

~ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป: If you feel eye strain, you could have an underlying eye issue like farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism.
~ ๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ: If you have dry eyes you could have a tear film imbalance, a lid abnormality, a low-grade bacterial infection or if you wear contacts deposit buildup.
