What Causes Flickering Under Left Eye?
Hi Doctor,
Underneath my left eye, it has been flickering a few times throughout the
day, for the last two days. My eyes are not red or swollen!
Again, its just a few times a day, but I can't recall having this occurence before!
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Richard Friedman

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having flickering under left eye.
This is because of twitching of eyelids. The common causes are stress, increased consumption of caffeine containing drinks, local inflammatory conditions.
The treatment is by avoiding the risk factorsa and treatment of inflammatory conditions if any. Applying cold compression provides symptomatic relief.
