What Causes Continual Twitching Above Eye?

I have a constant and persistent nerve twitching over left eye that has been going on for two months. It will cease for a day and start up again. I have dealt with the problem of twitching around my eyes for six years on and off. I am desperate for a cure to this annoying problem.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having twitching above the eye. Since it is present for 6 years it requires neurological evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment of the underlying cause.
Symptomatic treatment for twitching can be done by botox injections. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
