Eye twitch for months

[Elliejane]

Hi
Can anyone provide some advice or reassurance. I started with a twitch in lower right eye lid nearly 2 mths ago . It was just occasionally at first and I thought it would just go like all previous times as in past longest has been 2 days .

However in last 2 weeks it has got much more frequent . Although for 3 days last week it nearly went away and was only maybe 10 times a day and I was delighted only for it to reappear worse again on Friday and no improvement. It is like every few mins now .

I have read into it and it seems to be caused by stress fatigue or caffeine . I was not overly stressed before I started with it but longer it going on I am getting very anxious it will never ever go or is something serious causing it . I don’t think I am fatigued and don’t drink any caffeine so it not that .

I do work on computers all day but was on holiday from wed last week and it worse .

I have tried eye drops which made no difference and heat pads . Started to take vitamin b yesterday .

I have optician on Sunday so will ask her

I know it’s only an eye twitch but it is starting to get me down . It can be achy at times too and sometimes feels like have excess water in eye but not often .

Any tips on what to try to get rid of it . Anyone has it this long and how did it go ?

Oh no, I hope it gets better soon. Xx I've had loads of floaters for years, they are quite annoying on bright days. I've never had the detachment thing tho, I hope it clears up for you.

I wondered if the eye twitch started because I started regularly exercising at the gym. Wondered if I overdid things maybe.

My twitch was very similar and my dr thought it was eye strain. Long story short, it was and new glasses stopped it within a couple of days.

I work on the computer four days a week and I do wear glasses. Maybe I'll see an optician to check my eyes, thank you.
