Why do eyelids twitch?
Twitching eyelids is often regarded with humour and is something that most people experience but do not understand. For a person suffering from an occasional twitch it can be slightly annoying but not something that is regarded with much thought whilst for those who have frequent bouts of eyelid twitching, it can become extremely annoying, off-putting and begin to really get people down. Why does it Happen?Eyelid twitching occurs as the eyelid is forced to spasm involuntarily. The spasm involves the tiny muscles of the eyelid and these can become sensitive and susceptible to twitching because of tiredness, too much caffeine or as a response to stress. Some people experience this strange occurrence every day whilst for others it is extremely intermittent and only happens once or twice in a lifetime. There does however, seem to be some evidence that it appears as a genetic trait so you may be more susceptible if your parents or grandparents regularly suffer with the condition.
