Q: Why does my eye twitch?

A:
It is believed that muscle spasms in the eyelid causes eye twitches. Because of this, it is believed that it is related to the nervous system. Most think that these muscle twitches can be related to emotional stress or physical eye strain. For example, staring at the computer all day can cause eyes to twitch. This type of eye twitch is not considered serious and is usually transitory.
