10 Causes of Eye Twitching
Cause #10: Photophobia
Photophobia occurs when the eyes are extremely sensitive to light. The retina of the eye typically contains cells that detect light and projects forms on to the visual pathway through the optic nerve. Cells in the retina may be involved in light sensitivity. Consider speaking to a physician if you experience light sensitivity.
Photophobia is not an eye disease, but rather a symptom of another condition such as migraines or blepharospasm. Dry eyes are also associated with photophobia and may trigger eye twitching.
