Eye keeps twitching rapidly when I blink

Postby Joe Bloggs » Fri 05 Dec 2008 1:09 pm

This has been happening for a while now and was wondering if its linked to KC. Basically almost everytimr I blink, my left eyelids rapidly twitch for a second or two. Its not painful just a little annoying as its happening more frequently now like almost everytime.

Asked the doc about it but he said nothing can really be done about it and it will go away but it hasnt and its been about a month now. It's been going on for a year really but worse this past month.

I heard its due to stress but I get enough sleep and am not really stressed...

Joe

I have never had this, but if your doc says not to worry I guess he is right.

All the best

wHen you say you asked the doctor, do you mean the eye doctor (ophthalmologist) or your GP?
Qhichever, I suggest you ask the other one! - it sounds like it is bothering you and gtting worse, so you'd like the relevant person whose area of expertise it is to advise. Trouble is, finding who that is, I guess.

Hi,

I think you should get a second advise as well from a eye consultant.

Wish you all the best
