Home Remedies for Stopping Twitching of the Eye

Eye twitches can be annoying but a mild eye twitch will generally resolve by itself. Eye twitch is mainly due to the spasm of involuntary eye muscles. It can be triggered due to lack of sleep, physical or emotional stress, fatigue, over consumption of caffeine, eye stress due to long hours of computers, anxiety or some neurological disorders.

• Splash cold water on your eye 3-4 times in a day, this will help it to relax the twitch.
• Warm water compress can be used on the eyes to relax the eyelid muscle.
  
• Keep your stress levels low, and learn to relax.
  
• Avoid caffeinated drinks and have a nice 8hrs continuous sleep daily.
  
• Include more calcium rich foods in your daily diet like milk and milk products, green vegetables, sesame seeds, soy and soy products and salmons and sardines.
  
• Learn taking 5 minutes break while working on the computer every hour to avoid stress on your eyes.  
  

If the twitching is too severe accompanied by pain, infection or fever then consult an eye specialist immediately.
