Haha, what a crazy world. As for my story -- after trying everything I knew (no caffeine, more water, relax, take potassium and various vitamins...etc) -- I found your post and responses and it was somebody's advice to take a trip to the chiropracter that finally got me right. My whole right side was pinched up and out of whack. Stress started it, definitely, and the chiro helped end it. Eye twitch gone after session one, but I returned for a couple more just to make sure I stayed straight and narrow...! Good luck all! Thank goodness for your eye twitch post and responses!

It got so bad that I finally went to they eye doctor and had him check it out. After a thorough examination, he basically said that the twitch was due to eyestrain. This made sense, considering that I was working 8-10 hours a day in front of a screen, and then going home to another 4-6 hours in front of another computer working on web sites. He gave me a prescription for glasses with an extra anti-glare anti-reflective coating, (in addition to adjustments for my minor near-sightedness) and recommended taking more frequent breaks away from the screen, allowing my eyes to focus on something far in the distance for a few minutes to compensate for the intense amount of focus up close on the screen. Five years after getting the glasses and using them infrequently, and paying better attention to my time in front of the PC (I take short five minute breaks every hour or two), I still have not had a recurrence of the eye twitch that was starting to seriously concern me those many years ago. That's just my two cents. I hope it helps and that you find some relief. I had the very same problem a few years ago. It got so bad that I finally went to they eye doctor and had him check it out.

Its the nerve under the right eye. I saw an acunpunctirist in Kensal Rise London, a few years ago when it happened. She put a silver ball on it after the session and it stopped that day for years. I had acupuncture by Putney Bridge a month ago. She would not put anything under my eye and it did not stop until a few days later when I had been taking a tea she gave me twice a day. Its come back again a month later I took the tea and it stopped but its back and I can't afford the tea which is £45 for a weeks supply. I made it last longer by doing a couple of brews. if anyone knows where to get this tea for less that would be good. My eye twitches have returned. Its the nerve under the right eye.
