Eye Twitching — Which Doctor Should I See?

Eye twitching is usually caused by stress, fatigue, caffeine, dry eyes, or eye strain. It can also result from nutritional deficiencies, allergies, or certain medications. Most cases are harmless and resolve on their own.

Seek medical attention if twitching lasts more than a week, affects your vision, involves other facial muscles, or is accompanied by redness, swelling, or discharge. These may indicate a more serious condition.

Get adequate sleep, reduce stress, limit caffeine and alcohol, use artificial tears for dry eyes, and take regular breaks from screens. Warm compresses and eye massage may also help relieve symptoms.
