Involuntary eye twitching is an unpleasant and uncomfortable situation.

This problem arises for several reasons. Ophthalmologist Alexa Hecht spoke about this in more detail, writes the Daily Mail .

As the doctor noted, there is no need to be afraid, since this condition is considered safe. It passes rather quickly. On average, as the doctor noted, involuntary movement can last up to three weeks.

The doctor also listed the reasons.

She noted that the eye most often twitches due to stress, excess caffeine. The problem occurs with lack of sleep, with excess alcohol.

In addition, dry eye syndrome can occur when a person works at a computer for a long time and constantly uses gadgets.

If you get rid of all the habits that provoke the problem, get enough sleep, reduce stress levels, and also give up alcohol and caffeine, the problem will go away on its own.

If the eye continues to twitch after this, and the symptom persists for more than two weeks, then you should consult a doctor.
