Eye Twitching Causes

When to Visit a Doctor

An eyelid twitch may, in extremely rare circumstances, indicate a neurological or brain ailment. If all you have is a twitch in your eye, you most likely have an intermittent spasm, which is typically brought on by stress. If you also have further symptoms, you should consult your doctor straight once since they may indicate one of the following:

  • Bell’s palsy [7]
  • Corneal scratches [8]
  • Dystonia [9] (including facial, oromandibular and cervical)
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) [10]
  • Parkinson’s disease [11]
  • Tourette’s syndrome [12]

It is important that you visit your doctor as soon as you notice signs of complications.
