Causes of Eye Spasms

Botulirium toxin (Botox) is a derivative of botulin, a food poison, which has been used medically for more than 20 years. It, works by paralyzing muscles. Although it is said, to be completely safe, in my view (and this is beginning; to be supported by research), having frequent injections may lead to more problems - so it should be the last, resort.

Patients not only report itchy eyes, but describe a condition known as twitching eyes. Eye twitching is caused by small muscle spasms below or above the eye and is usually triggered by stress or fatigue. In most cases, the spasm will last a little while and then go away on its own. Although it is not a serious condition, twitching eyes can be very annoying and tiring.

Stress is perhaps the most common form of eye twitching. In most cases it is the result of eyestrain but it can also come from being overworked or any other stress-related activity. The twitching will lessen or stop altogether when the source of the stress is reduced.

Sometimes a cause for eye twitching is found. Anything that causes ongoing low grade irritation of the eye can elicit twitches. An eyelash growing in towards the eye, dry eyes, a foreign body such as small particles of vegetation, insects, metal, etc. can all be provoke twitching eye lids. Some prescription medications and serious medical problems can precipitate eye twitches.

Eyeglass frames can cause pressure behind the ears and on the side of the head if not properly adjusted. Frames that are tilted can alter the effective lens prescription and result in eye strain. Nickel is a common component in many metal frames (and in parts of plastic frames). Nickel allergies are fairly common and can cause discomfort, itching and possible mild headaches.

Most places you'll find if you do the research will tell you that no one knows what causes eye twitching but this is simply because the list is so long that identifying it is rather difficult. The above reasons are simply the most common as well. Other causes could be withdrawal from specific drugs, prescription drugs, neurological disorders, and many more.

For the person with the movement disorder this is an everyday, all-day phenomenon. It's usually annoying, and sometimes more than just annoying. The repetitive muscular twitches and contractions affecting the upper and lower eyelids can even interfere with vision. Fortunately, just one eye is impacted, so the other eye remains open.

If your eye twitches don't go away after you try treating it then examine the possible causes again and come up with a new treatment solution. I assure you all the possible causes are listed above and you fall into one of the categories. Don't continue to live with such an annoying and possibly debilitating problem that is so easy to treat once you've identified the right cause. Read about breast enlargement .
