TOURETTE syndrome is one of several neurological motor tic disorders. I would recommend That your Doctor schedule a neurology referral to be sure of the diagnosis. And yes TOURETTE`s syndrom may involve tics of the eye muscles. But you need an accurate diagnosis and futher help. Take care.

I'd ask a doctor. I might have turrets as well, but my twitches are very different. They're triggered by bad memories, and usually have nothing to do with eyes.
