If it is just a twitchy eye lid without any facial twitching, this is not
uncommon. Usually related to stress, fatigue and caffiene. Try getting
more sleep and cutting back on coffee consumption.
Usually goes away by itself in about six weeks, if not then see an eye
doctor.

| Look up the term "blepharospasm" on the internet. If that's all you have,
it's benign and will go away on it's own in a few weeks to months. As Dr.
Judy said, avoid caffeine and other stimulants (pseudoephedrine, OTC diet
pills).

| Actually, look up lid myokymia (otherwise known as a lid "tic"). This does
usually go away.
Blepharospasm is the chronic problem, typically both eyes, that does no go
away, and is probably NOT your problem.
