twitching eye

Im a female, 23 years old and for the past month my eye has been twitching everyday on and off. However unlike some other posts its not my eye lid thats twitching. The bottom corner of my left eye (not the eye ball, just under-my eyelash line i guess you'd call it), is twitching uncontrolably. Should I be worried? Is it an early symptom of something more serious?

It's all a form of myokymia. The muscle is shaped like a doughnut and part can twitch, top, bottom, inside, outside.  Myokymia is not to worry.
