So, when is it time to see a doctor? “Most eye twitching will resolve on its own after taking a rest or a nap,” Dr. Oyeyipo says. “See a doctor if your eye twitching lasts more than 24 hours or becomes progressively worse, which could point to a neurological disorder like Myasthenia Gravis.”
As mentioned earlier, eye twitching resolves itself, but one of the more common treatments for persistent eye twitching is Botox.
However, Dr. Oyeyipo warns that “treatment with Botox could cause a lazy eye.”
While there’s no magic solution for getting rid of an eye twitch and spasm, the best thing you can do is reevaluate your lifestyle as a way of trying to pin point whatever it is that’s causing it.
