Light Sensitivity
Eye twitching can be brought on by bright lights or made worse by them. A person with eye twitching may find they have a harder time adjusting to a sudden change in lighting and may find brightness painful.
Sunglasses may help to reduce pain and manage the eye twitching. Sensitivity to light can get progressively worse if eye twitching is frequent or lasts for a prolonged period. Temporary medication, lifestyle changes or Botox injections may be needed to help manage a persistent twitch.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
