Hi doctor,

My eyes twitch a lot. I started experiencing it last year. It lasted for a good three months and then subsided on its own. This year it has started again. It is very annoying and hampers work. I wear spectacles and got my vision tested a while back. So my power is correct. Can you please help me on this? What medication should I use to make it go away?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do you feel any kind of fatigue also along with the twitchings? Did it start last year after any kind of systemic illness like viral fever or any trauma? Any kind of treatment you take for any disease?

Your symptoms may purely be due to weakness without any associated pathology but may be associated with some local or systemic disease like blepharitis, or myasthenia gravis.

You can try using multivitamin specifically rich in vitamin B12 and Folic acid.

You can also use lubricant eye drops three to four times and do warm compresses.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply. It just started on its own. One thing that sometimes my eyes burn slightly when I step out. Can you please provide me names of medicines which I can get?
