The most common reason for eyelid twitching is involuntary muscle spasms in the eyelid, often caused by fatigue, stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, and lack of sleep. Other factors can include eye strain, irritation of the eye surface or inner eyelids, alcohol consumption, bright lights, and exposure to wind or air pollution. Typically, these twitches are benign and temporary, but if they persist for weeks or worsen, it could indicate more serious conditions like benign essential blepharospasm or neurological disorders. Medical attention should be sought if the twitching is accompanied by symptoms like eye redness, swelling, drooping eyelid, or if twitching spreads to other parts of the face.
