What are Eye Tics?
Eye tics are rapid, repeated and involuntary movements of various muscles surrounding the eye. These excessive motor movements may vary from mild and barely noticeable, to more severe cases where they may actually begin to interfere with normal visual functioning, and may affect other areas of life such as self-confidence. Eye tics must be differentiated from eye twitches which are often less noticeable and generally affect only a small bundle of muscle fibers, as opposed to the whole muscle which is characteristic of an eye tic.
