- Eyelid Twitching: Causes and Cure
by Southwestern Eye Center
• Eyelid Twitching: Caus...
Any involuntary movement or spasm of the eyelid muscles is termed an "eyelid twitch." The eyelid will typically close, all or part of the way, then reopen and repeat the process in very rapid succession. The most common causes of this ailment are fatigue, stress and occasionally overuse of caffeine. Twitching will normally continue for 1-2 days but usually disappear without any further treatment.

Has it gotten better yet?
Jasmine is it fixed now?
Jasmine Mine is like for 6 years now 😐
Jasmine My eye stops from twitching as soon as I saw your pic. 😎
Sarcastic Us 6 years damn fking hell
What about upper lip twitching? plz reply
Ask Elvis
@@MikeG-js1jt lmao
Herpes maybe?
My left eyelid has been twitching a lot every day for the past four days. Besides stress, lack of sleep, and caffeine - I'd have to add that crying a lot off and on for four days has been the main reason why my left eye has been twitching every day this week. When friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, family members, or just people in general have said or done some things that have caused a person to cry - then all the crying leads to eyelid twitching. So, I would add crying to your list for reasons for eyelid twitching.
Same bro
as soon as he said caffeine, i looked at my redbull hahaha
joel easton lol
joel easton i thought soda was bad enough 😂
i looked at my monsters😀 and when he said sleep i was liek” BRUH I DONT SLEEP AT ALL” like 😀
Yup i looked at my coffee like noooooo
as soon as he said chocolate, i looked at my chocolate bar hahaha
Thank you for this video!!! I've been freaking out for the past week, thinking the worse. I am stressed, overworked and lacking sleep
Thanks for sharing! I went back to school fulltime, drink a lot of caffeine and so that's exactly what's probably going on. I appreciate physicians like yourself who go to the trouble to help people by posting info like this.
Doctor: caffeine cut that out..
Me : listening, nodding and sipping my 4th coffee for the day
Thank you for relieving my anxiety over this issue!
In some African countries people believe that if the top eyelid is twitching you will have good luck and if its the bottom eyelid then something bad will happen. In reality there is nothing good about an eye twitch, its just really irritating.
Nope didn't win the lottery
It's been 5 years, still no luck, you lied to me!
@@gustlightfall hahahaha
Funny how I am watching this video with an eye lid twitching, after waking up 6 am to study for my board exam while drinking my 2/3 of a L coffee.
Hahaha Exam stress and caffeine same here
Me too... but really who else would be watching this? Lol
I've had mine for over a month now and it's driving me crazy
Have you figured out a solution? Mine's been persistent for this long too :(
e aha infant its doing it again now lol. I think mine may be due to stress as im going back to uni soon. maybe yours is to?
+Hayley Robinson ΜΕ Τοο!!!
ι wonder if it's something serious ...
i cant find out what causes it...
maybe its vitamin D?
nikos t I think mine is due to stress and probably too much or too little sleep x
i have a little bit stress and i can't get enough of sleep...
But also i'm vegetarian and i think maybe i don't eat enough of bananas or something...
in another video i've read when you don't get enough of some nutrient you get that.
or when you get too much caffeine..
But i don't drink coffee..
only black masala chai..
maybe thats it or the nutrients.
I took this Botox treatment for tow years and did find relief but not with out its side effects.
Side Effects : When tired eyes lids simply close involuntarily - one literally needs to hold eye lids open with a finger when tired. When Blepharospasm is intense the eye lid begins to sag and close partially and you don't have control over this. These effects lowered my confidence to the point where I discontinued the treatment. I eventually tried discontinuing all coffee and sugar in tate, The lack of caffeen and sugar improved my symptoms by 70 % but it is very hard to say no to a cup of coffee every few days ☺but it can be done and you will see the value in that after 7 days.

Toxic trait: doctor: “relax theres no neurological problem” me: “yea but what if there is”😂🤦🏻♂️
Left eye: **exists**
Left lower eyelid twitch: *im about to end this mans whole career*
Solum LMAO
Watch Dr Bergs video on eyelid twitch.
😂
I have been having lack of sleep lately, and that is a cause.
I've also been a bit stressed.
Explains a bit.
My eye has been twitching non stop for 9 years
I don’t drink coffee I get enough sleep I eat healthy
Im not stressed at all. I told this to my ophthalmologist and she doesn’t seem to know why
me too.

When the twitch is so gruesome it starts to affect speech patterns
I literally laughed so hard at this comment 😂
My left lower eyelid has been twiching ever since I woke up this morning. It stops for a little while and starts back up again. It's making my eye water. I can trigger it by squinting. I can temporarily stop it by pulling down my eyelid slightly.
Why is it always on the left eye? Is there any scientific explanation behind it?
Hi,
Please read my other comments and email me if you would like an accurate answer to this symptom and help. There is likely an underlying infection. My email address is in the "About" section of my profile.
I'm a manager for the VA. Stress, lack of sleep, and caffeine will do it to you. Both of my eyes used to twitch, now I'm down to one eye twitching, lol.
Is it gone?
My lower left eyelid has been twitching non-stop for 3 weeks straight.
I've tried everything on Google expect the get more sleep thing, because that's impossible.
Hot compress, eye drops, no caffeine. I think it could even be caffeine withdrawal as I cut caffeine out all together recently.
The only thing I'm doing different when it started is taking magnesium. I figured the twitching was my magnesium deficient body adjusting to it, but there's no way it'd be lasting this long. It's really getting irratating and it's very noticeable.
Was it ever resolved? What happened?
@@elenchusexperience1493 im so invested right now
Did it eventually go away? I’m dealing with this now too and exactly like you mentioned, I started taking magnesium supplements shortly before this started happening.
I thought I'm going to be blind. Phew. Thanks for this video. I'm getting stressed and anxious lately.
I also thought like this
You are honestly amazing doc. Just by watching this video it got reduced honstly almost to none! You should make a longer video talkikg about you because you know how to get to people braines! I really thank you and hope you make another video about it
Here i am thinking im gonna have a stroke its been twitching once every few min for a whole day abd its happened plenty of random times but not that frequent.
I haven't been sleeping so ive drank 3 pots of coffee yesterday and today. This video helped calm my anxiety cuz i have crazy shit that goes on in my head i.e. worrying about medical issues and speculating. I usually try to stay away from searching things on the internet because i will spiral into a panic attack, but i figured searching this on youtube was better, and because the twitching was happening so frequently, i needed to know if it was a sign of things to come
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SEEM LIKE A GREAT DOC.
I get plenty of rest, don't drink soda or too much coffee... and eat a very healthy balanced diet. My under eyelid has been twitching everyday for about 3 weeks now.. what do I do?
Warm compression ( use small towel) note that it wont go by the first time. It is like muscle spasm treat it in 2 to 3 days. It must go away
+Enteghade Avval OMG thanks this happens to me everyday I'll treat it right away.
An other reason is just sometimes a nerve
Same here. I've had it over a month already.
your going to dia :( ... nah im just playing , maybe youll get pink eye . or your eye got an infection
It felt like you were talking directly to me. As a product Designer obsessed with creativity i usually get carried away and work late into the night hence getting little sleep, i drink lots of coca cola (caffeine), i eat chocolate every Sunday, and i generally get stressed thinking about what my future holds.
And when my right eyelid began twitching teo days ago i swear i thought it was some kind of cerebral damage or something. Thanks a lot for this video
I wish this guy was my doctor. He's so relaxed!
I m suffering with this issue n got the solution from this video as the use of caffeine was the root cause of this problem hence glad to see the solution here thanks for uploading the video keep up the good work
Thaank you so much I like your personality in the video and I'm relaxing. Stopped the caffeine/tea intake and took a long long sleep and the next day; I only twitch few times, a lot less than lately. I work in front of a computer a lot so when I twitch, I close my eyes in relaxation and do few deep breaths and tell myself in a mental whispery note, "reeelax" and imagine the ocean :)
Not sure if this is true but maybe you need some eye drops to keep your eye wet or something. Like i said not sure lol
Fiorella Cornejo lay off the booze lady.!!
OK I'M POSTING THIS OUT ONTO ALL THE TOP EYE TWITCH VIDEOS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S SUMMAT YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW AND IT MIGHT HELP!
First thing you need to know is that in most cases 99% times this is just a muscle twitch or spasm (not to do with the brain).... I had this problem for 6 months straight everyday, some days worse than others, it first started when I quit smoking (7 MONTHS STRONG) and I thought it was part of my withdrawal symptoms or stress, or that I was just simply fucked up LOL Actually it was because I hit the teas and coffees harder than ever before.
That's right - CAFFEINE! After getting pissed off I tried a no caffeine diet, excluding TEA, COFFEE, FIZZY DRINKS and CHOCOLATE!
BLAMM!!!! Within a few days my twitch was gone, and now if I have caffeine by accident or without thinking my eyelid actually starts to niggle XD
Caffeine is a drug like any other, and it has bad side effects people..... try cutting it out completely!
I have 3 finals tomorrow, how can I not stress about this?
My eye's twitching is making me even more aggravated.
I'm 12 and had ticks my whole life in 3rd grade I got yelled at because my teacher thought I was rolling my eyes at her. But I still have ticks and I don't care
NTL ReTrø edgy
you might have Lyme disease
GorgieClarissa Zenith was talking about ticks as in movement in the eyes, not the insect. It's not Lyme disease. Ticks/spasms of the eyes like this are a symptom of Tourette Syndrome but not necessarily Tourettes. I have these same exact ticks in my eyes as Zenith does, since I was little, complete with eye rolling. It's gotten better as I've gotten older, but it never went away. Most people who have it, it goes away after 20 or so.
Zenith I have these same ticks (with the need to squint, eye rolling, etc) my whole life. It's gotten better as I get older, though I still have them and some years more or less than others. For most people, it goes away. It's good that you don't care. People can be mean, and they don't understand. Those people, including your teacher, are not worth your time and energy.
Try focusing on relaxing the mind, it helps me a lot. Try to get good sleep. Gently stretch and massage your eyelids. Maybe you will get rid of the ticks altogether someday, maybe not. But these things do help. Take care. :)
your eye was ticks because your teacher was hot.....its ok we all do this lol
If you wet a wash cloth with cold water and hold it on your twitching eye, the coldness helps the twitching calm down and stop. I have done this before and it helped.
Stressed : can’t do that cause of college
Tired: I sleep too much I’m tired of being tired 😭
Caffeine : I only drink water
Same...my left upper lid twitches on and off for about 5 days now...maybe stress?? Mom just passed away so maybe my worries and sadness? Hope it stopssss
Stress does it for me. My daughters best friend ran away two nights ago and I was a wreck while we were looking for her. My eye started twitching immediately after they called me with the news but even though she’s home safe now it won’t stop twitching. Probably because I’m not sleeping well now so if I can relax and get some good rest I’ll be a happy camper. The night she ran away we had a birthday party, I drank excess sweet tea, had a Pepsi and my daughter made 12 dozen chocolate chip cookies and I pilfered a few. I bet none of that helped. 😒😏
I never thought I'd get this, I, in fact work at one of the busiest starbucks in my town and I just started having this problem with my lower left eyelid for about a month now. It's nonstop twitching. I pretty much feel burned out. I haven't had an actual vacation and I also didn't consider the amount of green and black tea I take during work. It's a bunch of caffeine. This is so annoying! I also usually get about five-six hours night's sleep since I work morning shifts. I've actually realized this job is really wearing me off, I might think of taking a long break or quit soon.
thank you ,,was a lil afraid i was gunna have a stroke
AIC4life same here
Whenever my eyelid twitches something very bad happens to me. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. This is why I got so afraid when my eyelid twitches.
Thank you so much I feel more calm now because it has been twitching for two eyes. I have had lot of crying, stress and not enough sleep. I was worried I will not worry anymore.
Anxiety is really not helping -_-
Same here kinda hard not to get stressed 😑 lol did you eye stop? Mines been going on for 5 days it's getting so annoying I feel like it'll be like this forever 😩
it's stopped afret a week just give it time try to relax do some meditation it helps. stay in the now
My eye has been twitching for 2 years straight
Same but 3 years for me
My eye stopped twiching when he said you need to RELAX! Thank you
Screw sleeping and cutting down on soda, these 2 things always help me game
Bloody hell my upper eyelid has been twitching for the entire day and I think I'm starting to go nuts because of it. I have no clue how people survive having this lasting for weeks, or months!!
My partner has had this for 2.5 years now, lower eyelid, and upper eyelid when it's really bad. It's constant, never goes off. She's just got used to it now, doctors won't do anything (UK).
My partner has this problem for the last 2 years and non-stop pain for the last 2 years. lots of pain and difficult to get sleep too. he cannot focus on anything in his life including work.
he started taking proporonoal which was prescribed by the doctor and it helped a lot. unfortunately, his sugar level increased and stop taking that now. its a twitching and stiffening the muscle around the eye mainly on upper lid.
if you have any remedy please advise.
rubini gajan he should try blinking hard for 1 minute and also try closing eye for 1 minute and repeat the techniques plus he can dip cotton cloth into hot water and place it on the area where its twitching it may help with the blood circulation to the eye.
Thanks adna
Thanks Doc! I thought this is serious.
It's getting old. I don't drink coffee, don't consume sugar or grains, I'm not even working now, so zero stress in my life. Yet, my left eyelid twitches so much. It twitches more when I have leg cramps, so I wonder if it could be related?
I love his attitude! Thank you! I have had this left uppteye twitching for 2 months on and off
I do high intensity workouts, cold showers and drink alot of coffee. 3 days ago my left eye started twitching, now its not happening as frequently as it was in first day since I took a break from all that.
Literally the first 3 things he listed, I have. Stressed, not enough sleep, and caffeine! I think those are not all mutually exclusive
I started nursing school a month ago and my stupid lower right eyelid has been twitching ever since...
Magnesium and calcium helps me. When I drink too much coffee, but ignore taking my magnesium, this happens. Then I have to go through days of taking magnesium and it goes away for a while until I start drinking tons of coffee again. Vicious cycle!
Him: caffeine
Me: looks at my bang.... oh that explains a lot
Who came here because their eyelid is currently twitching?
Just me? Ok.
CM M mine has been going for a couple months now. Multi vitamins help
@@BusseySlayer thank you for that, mine's only been a week but it's really bothering.
CM M I’m a bit of a hypochondriac so obviously I thought that I had some sort of neurological disorder but it was only a mixed of a few different things, I work in the centre of Australia which is a super dry heat and dusty conditions, when I’m home all I do is sit in front of a computer screen and play games so I’ve been putting a lot of strain on my eyes. My diet was also really bad so I was mal nutritioned which results in muscle twitches. So I’ve been using multi vitamins, eye drops and lots and lots of sleep!
My eye has been twitching for a week now and I’m praying that it will go away because it’s concerning and annoying :( I hope it will go away soon.
I suffered from panic attack and anxiety disorder.. My body/head has been feeling like I'm on a boat swaying and not my body has to throw in another curse/scare at me where my left eyelid starts twitching and my left brain feels more pressure/can feel my vein near my left eye.... I'm scared it's a tumor or something but this doctor is calming me down
May God ease your pain. .
When he said caffeine
Me: remembers the 2 cups of coffee ive had today
When he said stress and lack of sleep
Me: Working on my computer fot the past 7 hours
When he said don't worry you'll be okay. I felt so good
In my case, it turned out to be eye dryness. Not lack of sleep, not too much caffeine, not stress at all. Just dry eyes from spending too much time in front of the computer haha. Put some drops in them, and the eye twitching will stop immediately :)
Hahaha Yup! Just did right now and it's gone (: to much video games and TV I suppose!
Awesome! It's so cool we can help out each other haha
+M Zubieta what do you mean by put some drops in them. explain it
Eye drops! There are special eye drops to solve the dryness
GUYS I was fiddling around with my face cloth and hot water one morning and when I was steaming my eyes the TWITCHING and SWOLLEN EYELIDS went away instantly! Like literally I was staring at my eye in the mirror like wait what- but within 10 minutes it did come back but sometimes it cures the problem! please share this message around and tell people about it I would like everybody to not have the feeling and sense of frustration because of this problem! If you have any questions regarding this feel free to have a say.

My eye has been twitching at least twice every minute for the last 5 days and its driving me insane
How are you now my friend?
how u now?
Parth Shah Im good now mate 👍🏻its been two years I think it stopped after I finally got some decent sleep
Thanks
I have a Functional Nuerogical Disorder and so yes it does give me eye twitching its a motor weakness and if its to bright my eyes twitch.
Won’t stop drinking coffee, can’t get more sleep, not (yet) willing to get rid of my wife and kids to reduce stress… guess I’ll just deal with the twitching!
I would highly recommend exercising, which should substitute for a large portion of your coffee and help you sleep, aswell as reduce stress throughout the day, due to the fact that locomotive training is critical for the brain to function properly.
Stress is the reason and sleep I have that at the moment can't seem to get my sleep back my dad had something that I won't mention and because he gets up each night because he can't walk he falls on the floor it's been this way for almost 2 years I'm so stressed out and I now have panic attacks at night not cool please don't smoke and take care of your body I hope my dad recovers fast so everything goes back to normal 🤦♂️ 🍀🤞✝️🙏🥺
My eyelid has been twitching for a solid 2 months and it’s just not going away
It's happening to me again. I know why because I have been stressed out this whole week and been sleeping late.
About 3 weeks ago one of my eyes started twitching. The past week it's stop twitching, but when I blink it wants to stay down somewhat, and feels droopy. Is this a similar symptom?
My eyelid was twitching and now it's sagging please help me
CAJ sounds like a stroke my guy lmao😂😂😂
unlike the others he really helped me calm down.thanks.
I thought I was about to have a stroke or something..... feeling better after what I heard!!!!
I was involved in an automobile accident, rearended. I dont know if this has something to do with it. It began about a month and a half after that
My right eyelid is always jumping like crazy.....I don't consume any caffeinated beverages ...maybe I'm not getting enough sleep....it's getting out of hand....sometimes both eyelids twitch at the same time...freaking me out
Mine twitch from allergies. Surprised this doctor didn't mention that as another cause. Highly recommend Alaway allergy eye drops! You can get them pretty much anywhere, Walgreens/CVS, Walmart, etc.
I sleep from 11 to 7. I don’t drink coffee or nothing.WHATS THE PROBLEM
Hi,
Please read my other comments and email me if you would like an accurate answer to this symptom and help. There is likely an underlying infection. My email address is in the "About" section of my profile.
@@etdmike I been good now I don’t have it anymore it’s like a once a year thing
@@JesusIsTheOnlyWay00 Symptoms coming and going are a hallmark sign of an underlying infection. I still suggest that we discuss via email if you are comfortable. I will help for free with no strings attached. I am positive that I can guess other symptoms and guide you in the right direction before things get worse. If not, no problem and I wish you all the best.
Doctor: stop your caffeine intake
Me: *sipping my coffee* mmmh interesting
How the hell am I supposed to sleep if this IS what keeps me awake ;-;
IKR
I had this problem for like the last 12 weeks, the things I found that helped was get more nutrients and drink more water it'll help the dryness if any. (sometimes eye drops help) also sleep!

My eye lid: *twitches*
Me: *loses all focus on the video and rewinds back*
It's under my right eye, on my right eyes eyelid and random places under and ontop of my left eye like wtf
Me at 3am, struggling with deadline, sip a coffee and watch this video with twitching eyelid : o_O
Wow. This is exactly what I needed to hear!! Thanks. My right eye just started today! Sucks. It's bothering me. But I also drink alot of caffeine and dealing with the computer screen. I've got to reset for sure.
since I have anxiety with germs..... how can I not be calm when there is germs everywhere. I'm always freaking out. the only moments when I don't is when I isolate my self from everyone
A year ago I was diagnosed with bell's palsy. Half of my face became paralyzed and it began with simple continuous eye twitching. What can I do to avoid it happening again, what you recommended in this video!?!?!? It sucks and it can become depressing having half of your face paralyzed.
"just stop being stressed out"
Thank you Paris Hilton.
