What is causing my eye to jump and twitch?

Answer by  sarahdf (190)

The cause may be an involuntary eye muscle spasm. Generally, this is mild and no cause for concern. Spasms can be controlled using stress management, getting an adequate amount of sleep and giving your eyes frequent breaks if staring at something too long.

A lot of people notice a twithching of the eye area every now and again. Although the feeling can become annoying, it most likely isn't a major problem and will go away on its own.

Most likely your eye is jumping and twitching due to dehydration. It can also be caused by a muscle spasm, that will most likely resolve on its own.

Your eye is jumping because of the nerves in your body. You may be stressed out, irritated, or just extremely nervous. This may be what is causing your eye to jump and twitch.
