My right eye has been twitching for the past week, and Im wondering if I can just ignore it or if I need to see a doctor. What could be causing this twitching? Should I be concerned or is it something that will go away on its own?

Eye twitching, also known as myokymia, can be caused by various factors such as stress, fatigue, caffeine intake, or eye strain. In most cases, it is benign and resolves on its own. However, if the twitching persists for more than a week or is accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, pain, or vision changes, it is advisable to seek medical attention. To help alleviate the eye twitching, you can try using lubricating eye drops and reducing your caffeine intake. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Botox injections to help with severe or persistent eye twitching. If the eye twitching continues or worsens, please consult with an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management.
