Eye twitching, tics in the eyelids and spasms in the eye are pretty common. In case of eye twitching, usually the lower eyelid becomes involved. The upper eyelid may also twitch in certain cases. Twitches are not permanent in nature, and they leave after some time. In some cases, eye twitching may last for long durations of time such as weeks or months. Eye twitching is not a critical medical condition. It is a temporary prickling and irritation in the eyes, which ceases after some time. Common twitching of the eyes is not related to any neurological disorder. Here are some reasons which cause eye twitches- Stress Every individual goes through some amount of stress, and the body reacts differently in different people as a result of stress. An eye twitch may be caused due to stress, especially related to strain in the eyes. In order to reduce stress you should practice yoga, meditation, perform breathing exercises and take a break. Reducing the stress would also cease the twitching in the eyes. Tiredness Eye twitching can appear when you are fatigued or very tired. Lack of proper sleep makes your body tired, and this might trigger eye twitching. You should improve upon your sleeping hours and sleep more. Eye strain Vision problems and any issue related to the eyes can cause stress, which may result in constant twitching in your eyes. Whenever too much stress is imposed upon your eyes, they tend to react and twitching occurs. Any problem would make the eyes put in more effort, which results in strain. You should have an eye check up if you experience an eye strain accompanied by twitching sensation in your eyes. People who use computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones for a profuse period of time experience pain and twitching in the eyes. There is a 20-20-20 rule to be followed while using such devices, which reduces eye strain and reduces itching or twitching. You can also avail special eyeglasses for people who spend a lot of time on computers. Caffeine Intake of an excess amount of caffeine leads to eye twitching. Cut down your doses of coffee, tea, dark chocolates and soft drinks in case of eye twitching and you may observe an easing in the twitching. Alcohol Alcohol also leads to eye twitching so you must abstain from alcohol in case you are having twitching in the eyes. Dry eyes This disorder develops in people who have crossed the age of 50. People who use computers a lot also develop dry eyes, which leads to eye twitching. Our eyes twitch because of a lot of reasons. You should know the facts right and avoid situations that lead to eye twitching.

There are two main types of seizures: 1. Focal seizures: these seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in one specific area of the brain. They are also sometimes called partial seizures. Focal seizures can be further divided into two categories: - focal aware seizures: during this type of seizure, the person remains conscious and aware of their surroundings, but may experience abnormal sensations, movements or emotions for a brief period of time. - focal impaired awareness seizures: during this type of seizure, the person experiences a brief loss of consciousness or awareness, and may exhibit automatic movements, such as lip smacking or repetitive hand movements. 2. Generalized seizures: these seizures involve abnormal electrical activity in both sides of the brain. There are several different types of generalized seizures including: - absence seizures: previously known as petit mal seizures, this type of seizure typically involves a brief loss of consciousness or awareness, accompanied by subtle movements such as eye blinking or lip smacking. - tonic-clonic seizures: this type of seizure, previously known as grand mal seizures, involves loss of consciousness, muscle rigidity and convulsions. - myoclonic seizures: during this type of seizure, the person experiences rapid muscle jerks or contractions. - atonic seizures: during this type of seizure, the person experiences a sudden loss of muscle tone, causing them to fall or collapse. In addition to these types of seizures, there are also other less common types, such as infantile spasms and febrile seizures, that may occur in specific age groups or in response to certain triggers. It is important for individuals to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for their specific type of seizure.
