thank you so much, so much of what you said, well, I kinda knew,but also knew, it could only serve me even better to hear it back from, one such as you !
Hi, again. Always a pleasure to see you. Twitches around the eye are the most common site for the little muscle fiber contractions known as "fasciculations" (fass-ick-cue-lay-shuns). They can occur with fatigue, anxiety, use of stimulants (sorry, Heather) which include caffeine, decongestants, and nicotine, overuse of the muscles due to squinting, and also in metabolic conditions that cause muscles to be irritable (electrolyte imbalances) and in neuro disorders.
They can also happen out of the clear blue in normal people.
They can be seen in a variety of neuro disorders which affect the muscles of the face, including hemifacial spasm, myokymia, blepharospasm, and can also be seen in things like MS. They can also happen with viral infections, which can cause fasciculations in any of the muscle groups. The vast majority of eye twitches are benign.
Because the face is so sensitive and has so many snesory nerves, when twitches happen in the face they are really annoying and drive you crazy - something most of us do not need!

Do you believe that I was told by my family doctor that this can be caused by too much smoking or too much caffiene products?
