Daniela Pavese, an ophthalmologist at Eyecare Clinic in Milan, explained on IlGiornale.it’s website what eyelid myokymia commonly known as eyelid shaking is and how it is treated.
“It is a very annoying but transient condition,” says Dr. Pavese, “often caused by stress or alcohol and cigarette abuse. Other times, however, it might be a very dry eye that causes the eyelid flickering. Usually the discomfort lasts for a short time, but if the symptoms become persistent, it is then time to see a medical specialist who will be able to assess the severity of the problem.”
