What Causes Twitching Sensation In The Eyes?

Should I be worried about an eye twitch? My left eye has been twitching quite frequently lately, over the last few weeks, (not constant, but regularly). I am a generally healthy person, and have never experienced this much eye twitching. I do spray chemicals at work at an ornamental plant nursery. I wear the required ppe, but I hope that exposure to chemicals is not causing this twitch...
