Help! My undereye has been spasming - Eye & Vision Message Board

kat71 · 03-28-2002, 09:16 AM

My left eye (under my eye) has been twitching for almost three weeks now. It seems to originate from the corner of my eye close to my nose and creates an upward pulling motion. Even when I do not see the twitch I can feel it. It is so irritating! Has anyone had this type of twitching before.........I doubt mine IS related to stress since it twitched the whole time I was on vacation!

yep, eye twitching can occur once in a while, it is just a nerve causing spasms... don't know what to do to get rid off them, but a doc can help.. maybe

I'm having this problem right now in fact. Weird, huh? You feel like everyone can see the twitch and is staring at you.

A twitch, or tic, is caused by a nerve in the face — not the eye. It is very often a response to stress or some other stimulus. Twitches usually go away on their own, but persistent tics can be treated by injecting botulism toxin into the offending muscle.
