Brief Answer:
Nervous disorder

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Please do not worry about eye twitching.

If it continues over a day you may seek doctor consultation.
Stress or nervous break down is principal reason. Cut down caffeine. Increase electrolyte fluids.

It could be because of new medications that you started taking after seizure attack.

Very rarely it can be a serious problem to be nervous about.

Hope this helps you a bit.
