What Causes Twitching In Eyes?
In the very left corner of my left eye, there is this twitch that occurs at random and often where my eye meets the surrounding wall, it feels a little contracted like its being pulled or just tense in general I message around the area in attempt to alleviate the stress but with no luck. Lastly my eye itself twitches or spasms like my optic nerve is malfunctioning, the eyesight itself isn't really fuzzy but more like its shifting in and out of double vision or almost even like a graphic glitch out of the matrix. thats the best I can describe the feeling it doesn't hurt its just very bothersome what could the underlying issue be?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having twitching of the eyes.
Twitching of the eyes is a common but benign problem and is usually associated with stress or intake of caffeine containing drinks like coffee.
Hence no need to worry as it will come down and it may not require treatment except for avoiding stress or caffeine containing drinks. Applying cold compression may help in few cases.
Thank you
