What you have is a chronic case of blepharospams, as it is known medically. Unfortunately, it is one of the most mysterious conditions of muscular spasms and the theories that abound about its causes are eye irritation, stress, and fatigue. Understanding the mechanism of the area and of workings of nerves goes a long way in trying to treat the problem.
Why Does My Eye Twitch - The muscle that controls blinking in the eye is called the Levator palpebrae superioris muscle. This muscle is directly controlled by nerves from the brain that are part of the involuntary responses of the brain. This is the reason why closing of the eyelid is nearly unavoidable unless consciously controlled. This is an important point to remember since it indicates that intense control of your involuntary responses can override the natural response. Most muscle spasms and tics in the rest of the body can be attributed to a problem in the nerves. You can observe this in another part of the body by locating the nerve and compressing it for a few minutes. You will notice that there is some twitching-like movement that happens. These kinds of spasms and tics are caused purely from the compression of the nerve by surrounding muscles or because of a lack of blood flow to the nerve. However, this is not the reason for a tic in the eye but it is important to understand how a blocked nerve function can cause spasming. Finally, you would have noticed that if you elevate your hand, and outstretch your fingers without concentrating too much, there is a small amount of twitching that happens. However, once you concentrate on stopping the twitch, the shaking and tic disappears.
Most of the treatments for correction of blepharospams are either ineffective or ineffective in the long-term. Botox is usually used as this paralyses the nervous function. This is the most popular treatment. The other treatment is to start exercising some mind control. Consider that your eyelid has become wayward. You need to regain control. Try an exercise of keeping both your eyes shut, while in a closed soundproof room. Then, concentrate on your eyes. Open them slowly to the maximum and close them in the same rhythm. Focus on one point on the wall, do this continuously, and progress to longer periods of keeping the eyes open until you regain full control. Take some time off from your regular life to do this, as it requires complete concentration.
