Hello
It seems from the history that you are twitching of the eyes. Twitching of the eyes is usually because of stress, inflammations of the eye, or it can be associated with increased intake caffeine containing drinks. The treatment is by cold compression and avoiding the predisposing factors like stress or caffeine containing drinks.
If the twitchings are painful,recurrent or associated other neurological symptoms like facial spasms, numbness then it requires evaluation by a neurologist.

Thank you
