Hello
It seems from the history that you are having flickering of eyes and blurring of vision.
Flickering of eyes is caused by contractions of the the orbicularis muscle. The common causes are stress, increased intake of caffeine containing drinks... However if the flickering is continuous and not getting relieved it requires evaluation to rule out causes for irritation of the facial nerve.
Thank you
