Dry Eyes
Dry eyes are a symptom that can both stem from eye twitching and exacerbate it. The eye twitch can interfere with blinking or cause extra friction on the eyes, which can lead to irritated eyes and bring on more twitching.
Commonly this symptom, along with many others, lessens as the twitch naturally starts to end. Over-the-counter eye drops may help alleviate this symptom, or a person can seek medical advice.2‘Eye Twitching.’ A Non-Profit Hospital in Los Angeles | Cedars-Sinai, 27 Feb. 2021, www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/e/eye-twitching.html
