Twitching eye I'm worried

Hi all for weeks now I've had a twitching lower eyelid on my right eye and occasionally on the left too. Driving me mad. Not had a test for years and at times eyes do feel a bit strained. Had a Google and it can be a sign of MS and Parkinson's I'm so worried-is it a Drs or opticans job?

Could it be stress/tiredness? I get twitchy eyes sometimes if I'm generally run down.

Watching with interest as my upper left lid has been exactly the same for days!

I get this when I'm tired. Go have an eye test.

I think it's very common. I had it a couple of months ago, and it lasted a few days or a week, can't remember now. I was worried too but it stopped and I can't even remember now how long it lasted!

I get it occasionally, and it is entirely due to tiredness.

Had this for years when im tired. I would go get a sight test done though as squinting is prob making it worse

Just to update, my twitching eye has ceased twitching! Must have been tiredness.

Had this for years! Worse if tired/stressed or too much computer time. Can be annoying sometimes but nothing more. Hope that helps Flowers
