This is the most informative video I have ever seen on eye twitching. You presented in a way that can be easily understood. I have had right eye under eyelid twitching for 2 years.
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with us. So grateful to you for this. The number of people's lives you impact for years to come is a blessing you could not even begin to comprehend. Thank you!!!
I had eye twitching issue for about a week. As a computer science student, I have barely any choice but to stare at my screens for the whole day, and turning on night mode to eliminate blue light was the solution to my eye twitching issue.
Personalize your whole computer menu colors with turquoise so that even your browser or whatever that you're looking at on it has it if spending a lot of time on a computer.
Thank you for this video. I've had hemifacial twitching for a long time now. I had an MRI done and they said it wasn't anything serious and suggested the botox treatment. I didn't take up the botox treatment because I didn't think it was necessary. As long as it wasn't anything more serious, I was alright with living with the twitching. Having said that, the twitching has now reduced to a great extent and only comes on when I am stressed or I've been on the computer too long. Yes, caffeine also contributes to it, so I've cut down on coffee (boo hoo...). :)
I watched a couple videos and they said that the cause of it being something serious is very very rare so please do not worry about it mine just started a couple days ago but it's a light twitch you can still notice if you look in the mirror but I'm just more curious
Thanks so much, with my left eye twitching on the upper side for days, I will try to sleep, reduce anxiety and also the use of computer during the night.
Eye Twitch for Five weeks. I cut my caffeine intake in half and that’s about the same time it started. 😂 To get rid of stress and sleep better, I’d have to live alone and sleep alone and I think and I can’t afford that. Yet.
I'm going thru the same on my right upper lid. I'm thinking am I stroking out? Wth? Over 1 mth now with this twitching. If I'm lucky 5 to 6 hrs sleep total because I am a f.t Caregiver to my elderly mom w dementia at home. So stress lack of sleep and caffeine. All of the above for me! Catch 22.
i’m facing this problem since past almost a month started after Gym workout, but one hour I drink, caffeine or extra sugary drinks it triggers even more, thanks for the video I’ll work on my good sleep now
Thank you for your very informative video. I have had left upper eyelid twitching for one month now and it’s becoming very annoying. It’s causing soreness, not letting me concentrate on school work or driving as well. It all started out of the blue 🤷🏻♀️and with no luck stopping it. I will try all your recommendations, because I just don’t know what next. I visited a Doctor already and only advised more possibly needed potassium or sodium in my diet along with Benadryl before sleep 🤷🏻♀️
@@Theropewaywhere did she say that The doctor gave her cough syrup? Benadryl is in a cough syrup that's an antihistamine but a lot of doctors recommend it to help with sleeping & anxiety
I'm extremely suffering with this in my right lower eyelid from last three months! 😢 While l'm typing this my eyelid is still twitching 😢 I've very badly sleep problem!
I am final year resident, i have been experiencing it every 2-3 mins for last afew days. You can get the facts that all things you said is not possible for me to improve(can’t get good sleep , resolving anxiety & fatigue but already cut down on caffeine), kindly help me in any other way. Thank you.
I had left eyelid twitching for 19 days, started the very first day I had covid symptoms. I tried “tonic water with quinine “ as recommended by one of the eye doctor , after 3 days of taking 1-2 cans a day, finally the twitching stopped… I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or it really works, it will not harm you anyways. Goodbye myokymia!
Doctor, I have lower eyelid spasm on the left side and it came during finals week due to poor sleep and it stayed but decreases in intensity as time goes by however now I feel the nerve on the side of my nose twitching but not as bad. Should I be concerned even if symptoms lessen? Do the symptoms from the serious ones get better or worsen over time? Thanks.
My upper left eye lid has been twitching periodically for like almost 2 months But other symptoms have gotten progressively worse. These being a feel of strain on both eyes and now part of my upper face too. I can see fine but my eyes feel tired easily. I’ve been sleeping plenty exercising plenty don’t drink a ton of caffeine drink lots of water. Have been using eye drops and started bruder Mask. Going to try magnesium too. Going back to optometrist and probably seeing a neurologist.
@ doing much better. The eye drops seemed to help. Now I use them as needed. I think staring at phone too close caused strain for me so I try and manage that too.
my husbands lower right eye twitching has persisted for almost a year now. I find that it's very sensitive to EMF. He would twitch more when he's around high EMF location. Sometimes it's so intense that he feels the muscle wants to shut the eye. Has anyone ever cure this?
Omg this has literally happened to me before. My left eyelid almost forced closed on its own! I saw in another video that taking Apple cider vinegar can help it go away. Hope that helps.
I have a twitch on my right eyebrow. If I open my eye wide it stops but as soon as i bring my eye back to normal it starts again. It's driving me potty. It's been happening every day for about a week now..
hello, thank you so much for your content, very informational for me. I have sun allergy and defend my skin I use sunscreen. how we can defend eyes? I geuss allways get more itchy and redness on Sun, can we use some specific drops for sun allergy? Regards, George
I have benign fasciculation syndrome and for the past month my left lower eyelid just twitch. So, now I just get Botox shots to calm it down for 3 months.
What did the doctor say mine just started in my right eye it's not horribly bad but I feel like my eyes are a little dry and I'm waiting for my sleeping medication to be filled also it started when I had food poisoning I'm not really scared that something serious because in a couple videos they said that's very very rare
@MTB_FANATIC99 they keep on telling me it's just stress. I had a CAT scan too and nothing turned up. My eyes stopped twitching a while back ago, however.
Your videos give the best general coverage on youtube of common senior's eye problems of cataract, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. One item missed by the nearly dozen different doctors' videos I viewed regards monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). Would you kindly explain the measurements needed to select a monofocal IOL. That is, will the cataract-removed eye see 20/20 or 20/15 or 20/30, etc. A related aspect regards manufacturers of monofocal IOL. What is their difference? A third topic for another video concerns your statement in a prior video that an IOL can be removed and replaced. Only one other youtube video I viewed makes a similar claim and most doctors on youtube do not recommend a second operation on the same eye, indicating that risk of something going wrong was too high. I look forward to your next videos for more eye-opening (fun intended) information. Gust deWill
Two years of both eyes flickering - upper lids, switches from left to right side, etc. almost every day. It may be sleep related or stress. This is awful.
@@Iknasyo It has improved but in the eyebrow region above my left eye, it still pulses. Glasses, eye drops, trying to improve sleep and mild exercising seem to have made improvements.
I am having eye twitching almost a week now in my left eye upper lid. It twitch a minute, then come back in a few hours, then vice versa. I could tell that I lack sleep. I always sleep and wake up at 11 am, then 2 am, then 5 am. I can't sleep like a straight whole night. Maybe insomia? I dont drink coffee also.

I will recommend you buying blue lighter filtering glasses it makes it much more efficient
@@Rj_xxivmy glasses comes with it, but it doesn't help much. So i guess this is the next best solution to get stronger filtering.

U mean hemifacial spasms
Thanks for this video. So happy you talked about how to know it’s usually serious or not.
The brain tumour part got me scared.I can virtually deal with all causes but not a brain tumour.
Me too 😢😢
Same and I’m a hypochondriac
Especially in america.... who can afford care if you have a brain tumor
I watched a couple videos and they said that the cause of it being something serious is very very rare so please do not worry about it mine just started a couple days ago but it's a light twitch you can still notice if you look in the mirror but I'm just more curious
And motor neurons disease too.

Very informative, thanks
ive been experiencing it now eyes and lips
Did it go away? What did u do?
Hi...dr wat u did how it went
Low zinc and magnesium
Hello doctor, eye drops do not contain phosphates and preservatives
