My eyelid on my right eye twitches almost constantly.  It has been going on for about 4 months now.  It's very aggrevating.  Sometimes it affects my vision, kind of blurrs things.

You need an eye exam by an Eye MD ophthalmologist-physician to determine why your vision blurs. Go to www.aao.org to find one near you.

The twitch is usually "myokymia" and an irritable eye muscle. It is not usally serious and eventually goes away. When you get your eye check up ask the eye physician about this also.

The modern treatment of severe blepharospam and hemifacial spasms is carefully calibrated botox injections and works extremely well.

Treating Eyelid Twitch

Here're my comments and feedbacks to issue above based on my own genuine personal experince of a similar nature.

Good day, I have read about the stories of many people having troubled by the eye sickness of eyelid-twitchings and hence I would like to share my own personal experience to you over the course of my treatment for this sickness, and it is only meant as a reference material to your website. For your information, I have been suffering from exactly the same type of sickness like these people in the past few years whereby my eyelids also tend to twitch both continuously and uncontrollably without me being able to do anything to control the twitchings at all. As a result, my eyes would seem like blinking all the while to anyone who looks at me and I totally could not drive, look directly and persistently at the pc or tv screens and most of the times, I simply can’t read any books or newspaper properly. And I have sought lots of medical treatments and apply various kinds of eye drops, taking various types of vitamins, mineral pills as well as many types of anti-muscle spasm medications from lots of eye specialist, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists,  ENT specialist and other general practitioners,  and even have the MRI examinations taken to get my eyes cured , but these efforts turn out to be in vain as they fail to yield any positive results. Luckily, just about a year after I suffer from such a sickness, I come across an accupuncture expert who studied and observed closely about my problems and then administer a therapy needle on the part of the flesh which is about 1.5 cm above the middle part between my thumb and my forefinger of my right hand. After that, he just ask me to press (using just mild force) that accupuncture point using such objects like toothpick /normal writing pen or anything with a blunt-pointed end for at least 2 hours a day and then consistently for about 2 months. Having done that persistently based on his order, my eyelid-twitching that makes my eyes blinking all the time just totally recover and I can drive, work with the pc screens, watch tv, movies and read as well as work like any other normal persons.
For your further information, I have also come across quite a couple of people in my real life annoyed by such an eyelid-twitching problem of different causes and degrees of severity, and accordingly, I just recommend the method as mentioned above to them and within weeks, they just experience significant improvements to their conditions after applying this theraphy, and after a few months , they just recover totally from this sickness.   And I hope that by contributing this piece of article to you, it will somehow give you at least some guidelines and a clue to curing that sickness. Lastly, I sincerely wish that the ones troubled by such an annoying eyelid-twitching sickness can recover finally from their illness.
