Doctors’ responses

This is usually due to eye strain, stress, lack of sleep, or excess caffeine. Since your eye exam was normal, nothing serious is likely. Take proper rest, reduce screen time, and avoid too much tea/coffee. Cold compress may help. If it persists longer, or you get drooping eyelid/double vision, consult an eye specialist.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am an ENT specialist with over 6 years of clincial practice and in this time I have tried to balance hospital work with building my own setup. Currently I work as Consultant at Meridian Hospital Kolathur and also as visiting consultant at VIHAA Hospital Anna Nagar. Along with this I started SCOPE ENT CLINIC in Villivakkam, which is my own space to treat patients with more time n focus. Running a clinic teaches you different kind of responsibility, not only treatment but also trust, making sure patient feels heard and safe. My practice covers a wide range of ENT issues, from common ear infections, sinus problems, throat disorders to more complex surgical cases. I try to focus on giving indiviualised treatment plans, because each patient story is differnt even if the diagnosis sounds similar. Working in multiple hospitals also let me collabrate with other specialities which is important when dealing with complicated ENT cases linked to allergy, pediatrics or even neuro. Founding my own clinic was both challenging and rewarding. Some days are hard, managing staff, handling emergencies, ensuring things run smooth.. but it gave me chance to create an environment where patients get continuity of care. For me ENT is not just about procedures but also education, I try to explain conditions in simple words, guide on prevention and lifestyle changes that can reduce recurrnce. Over these years, what matters most to me is not just how many cases I handled but the connections built with patients and their families. I want to keep growing, keep learning new techniques and stay updated with advances in ENT, but at the same time keep the human touch alive in practice.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hi Nisha, Since your vision test was normal, the twitching is more likely from muscle/nerve fatigue than from eyesight.

Reasons: Stress/Caffeine/Dry eyes/Eye strain/Lack of sleep etc

To reduce it: Sleep properly Avoid excess caffeine Warm compressions Stress management Screen time breaks Stay hydrated

Then also if persisting, i suggest to consult an Opthalmologist in person to rule out the exact cause by examination.

I trust this helps Thank you

Eye twitching, or myokymia, is often benign but can be annoying. It can be triggered by stress, fatigue, caffeine, alcohol, or prolonged screen time. Since your vision checkup did not reveal any problems, consider assessing your lifestyle for these common triggers. Ensure you’re getting enough sleep - ideally 7 to 9 hours per night - as lack of sleep can exacerbate muscle twitching. Evaluate your caffeine and alcohol intake and try cutting back if you are consuming these excessively. Manage stress through techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or gentle exercise such as yoga, which can help reduce the frequency of twitching episodes. Eye strain from prolonged screen time can contribute to eye twitching as well. Even if you’re using blue light glasses, make sure to follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds, to give your eyes a break. Additionally, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day is important, as dehydration can also be a factor. Apply warm compresses to the eye when twitching occurs to relax the muscles. If symptoms persist despite these measures, it might be worth consulting a healthcare professional or an ophthalmologist to rule out other potential underlying conditions. In rare cases, persistent eye twitching can be a sign of neurological conditions; if accompanied by other symptoms like blurred vision, eyelid drooping, or facial spasms, seek medical advice promptly. Remember, not every remedy will work for every individual, and sometimes it takes trying a few different approaches before finding what helps you.
