👁️ Eye Twitching? It Might Be Myokymia!
Ever notice your eyelid twitching uncontrollably? That’s likely myokymia — a common, harmless eyelid muscle spasm.
✨ What causes it?
The most common triggers include:
• Stress
• Fatigue
• Too much caffeine
• Eye strain (especially from screens!)
⏳ How long does it last?
Eyelid myokymia usually lasts a few seconds to a few days and typically goes away on its own.
🚩 When should you call us?
While most eye twitches are harmless, schedule an exam if:
• The twitch lasts more than a few weeks
• Your eyelid completely closes with the twitch
• You notice other facial spasms
• You have redness, swelling, or discharge
💡 Pro tip: Prioritize sleep, manage stress, reduce caffeine, and follow the 20-20-20 rule to reduce digital eye strain.
