Eye Twitching

[lyndielou]

Over the last year I have had a bothersome twitching in my right eye that involves the eyelid and now affects my cheek and corner of my mouth. should I be concerned about this or will this just go away eventually?   Thanks

If it is just a occasional bout of small twitches that is not so worrisome, but if serious twitching of lid, face, mouth, you could have hemifacial spasm which could require a neurologic workup and possible treatment.  So I guess it depends on the severity of the twitching.  If is like you say, you should probably see a neurologist.

I went to a eye glass DR's office and that is what she called it, I could'nt remember what it was, she sugested I see someone about it but I have very limited resources so I have to choose my DR's wisely and I think you need a referral,  Thank you LInda
