Proper term is Blepharospasm. I have been having this twitching eyelid in my right eye (non-operated in eye) for 4 days now and am freakin out a bit!
Has anybody else experienced this problem? I need some soothing words :(

I get a twitching eyelid, usually when very tired or very stressed. it is as annoying as hell as I can see it happening, and on occasions my husband can as well :lol:

If you are at all concerned just give your opticians/eye clinic a call for reassurance.

Yup; I'd pop along to the clinic for some reassurance, but like Liz, I get this twitch when I am overtired. There is never a convenient moment to start 'winking' at people :oops:
