What Causes The Outer Part Of The Bottom Eye Lid To Twitch?

I m 15, and have Type 1 Diabetes. I m on an insulin pump, and my BS is pretty well controlled. Recently, the outer part of my bottom right eyelid has been twitching, on and off. Shortly after that started happening, I ve noticed i don t have much of an appetite anymore. Can you help me?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The most common causes of eyelid twitching are stress, fatigue, and caffeine.
To ease eye twitching, you might want to try the following: -
-Keep your eye surfaces lubricated with over-the-counter artificial tears or eye drops.
-Apply a warm compress to your eyes when a spasm begins.
If the symptoms continue, see a neurologist.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
