Suggest Treatment For Eye Twitching
Question: Hi,
My husband XXXXXXX is having some problem in his left eye. It keeps on twitching. We consulted eye specialist so she told us that this is not eyes problem. It is related to a facial nerve. If you press it for a minute it will stop. This helps but still sometimes it starts twitching again. Not very frequent, though. Should we consult a doctor or is this normal? Need advice.
