An eyelid twitch is a general term for involuntary spasms of the eyelid muscles.
The most common things that make the muscle in your eyelid twitch are fatigue, stress, and caffeine. Once spasms begin, they may continue off and on for a few days. Then, they disappear. Most people experience this type of eyelid twitch on occasion and find it very annoying. In most cases, you won't even notice when the twitch has stopped.

The following steps may help:
Get more sleep.
Drink less caffeine.
Lubricate your eyes with eye drops.

Please visit a neurologist if they do not stop by themselves.

One extremely common cause is Potassium K+ deficiency, though it could be something else altogether causing it.

It could be the deficiency, so try eating 2 or 3 bananas a day, take aB12 vitamin pill, get 8 hrs sleep per night. Do this for four to five days, and it should clear up.  If not, then it wasn't a deficiency.
