My eyes suddenly started twitching when closed

My eyes suddenly started twitching when closed

When I got home from work today I laid down and closed my eyes for a bit. I noticed my eyes were moving. I opened them and they stopped. I closed them and they seem to start twitching. My husband can see them moving. Its the actual eyes and it both of them. Not the eye lids. Now here it is 11:41 pm and I cannot sleep because my eyes will not stop moving.

Is this serious? Could this mean I need glasses or something?

It does not mean you need glasses. Use the search feature and archives and read about "myokymia" and "blepharospasm".  If it's the actual eye and not the eyelid then call an eye MD today and make and tell them what's going on. Find one near you at www.aao.org
