Brief Answer:
No treatment needed

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This flickering of eye lid usually does not require any treatment but if it lasts longer then calcium tablets or calcirol XXXXXXX can be had once a week in a glass of milk.
These are small electrical discharges which can occur occasionally and though it bothers you but does not have much of clinical significance.
Any further query, please do get back to me.
