We’ve all felt a muscle spasm from time to time. Maybe it’s a twitchy finger, maybe it’s a painful spasm in the back of your leg in the night. But what about when it's your eyelid?

Eyelid twitching is quite common, and almost always benign, temporary and rarely a cause for concern.

What causes eyelid twitching?
Irritation or dryness of the eyes, a lack of sleep, high levels of stress and too much caffeine are some of the main causes of a jumpy eyelid. This is sometimes referred to as eyelid myokymia.

Use of alcohol or tobacco, eyelid strain, physical exertion and side effects from medication can also either make your eyelid twitch or make the twitching worse. When the eyelid twitching is caused by these external factors, it almost always goes away on its own and does not require medical attention.
