3. Stress
Eye twitching is often caused by stress. Your body has multiple ways of dealing with stress and eye twitching is one of them. So, you can take an eyelid twitch as a sign that you need to slow down a little. Do you suspect that your eyelid twitch is caused by stress? Try to find out what’s causing this and try to prevent it in the future.
4. Allergies
When you suffer from allergies, there are a few things that can happen to your eyes. They can get watery, or dry, they can swell, itch, get irritated… Or they could twitch.
5. Tired eyes
Since your eyes are hypersensitive, the smallest things can upset them. Not enough sleep can have a lot of influence, for example. When you haven’t slept for long enough, your eyes will get tired and there’s a chance they will start twitching. Luckily, this is easily solved: go to bed on time! When you need glasses but don’t wear them, your eyes can also get very tired. Even small abnormalities can cause your eyes to become tired. And think about all those screens we look at all day (phones, computers, television…). These cause our eyes to have to work extra hard.
6. Dry eyes
Drinking too much caffeine or alcohol can cause dry eyes, but you can also get dry eyes due to things unrelated to alcohol and caffeine. People who wear contact lenses will be very familiar with this. Dry eyes can also cause an eyelid twitch. Actually, all causes come together with this factor, because stress and fatigue can cause dry eyes as well, which in turn can lead to an eyelid twitch.
Tips
Finding a solution doesn’t have to be difficult. Getting enough sleep and rest and making sure you avoid stress can help a lot. An eyelid massage can also help every now and then. When you notice your eyes are dry, you could use eye drops to relieve them.
