10 Causes of Eye Twitching
Cause #6: Allergies
People who suffer from allergies, may have side effects including itchy, watery or dry eyes. This may trigger eye twitching to occur. Rubbing the eyes may cause swelling because histamine is released into the eyelid tissues and the tear ducts. The act of rubbing the eyes may also be significant because some evidence suggests that histamine is released into the eyelids.
In order to relieve this problem, some doctors recommend antihistamine eye drops or tablets to help with the eyelid twitch. Another option is taking allergy medication, because it is not uncommon for antihistamine eye drops to cause dry eyes. Consider working with your doctor to find the right remedy for you.
