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.
Hello dear See as per clinical history it seems strain during the exertion Usually twitching is a normal phenomenon but i recommend you to please take in person consultation with opthalmologist for confirmation Also get following tests done and share results with the concerned doctor Opthalmoscopy Tonometry Visual field test Regards
Hi Dear Nisha, Eye twitching is called as Blepharospasm Kindly do follow these advices Avoid stress in any form Avoid caffine intake Adequate hydration Supplement yourself with Vit D3 rest it might be electrolyte imbalance Take care
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.
