Optometric Association, the twitch was not a serious medical problem. Twitch is
a muscle contraction involving the orbicularis oculi. Twitch occurs because the
nerve fibers in the brain to contract momentarily. Throbbing vein suddenly like
experiencing stimulation (contraction), which generate electricity through the
facial nerve that makes eye strain a moment. So no need to worry about as
dangerous as the disease does not affect the ability of sight.

dry eyes due to the aging process. Dry eye is also very common for people who
use computers, taking certain medications such as antihistamines,
antidepressants, contact lenses and consume caffeine or alcohol. Tiredness and
stress can also trigger dry eye.
