Why Is My Eye Twitching?
6. Tourette’s Syndrome
Tourettes syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects approximately 1 to 10 people in every 1,000. It is more likely to happen in males and it can affect people from any ethnic group, and anywhere in the world. Despite its rarity, the condition is still quite well known, partly because of the way its symptoms draw attention to people with Tourettes syndrome. The condition causes involuntary actions by the patient.
This includes movements, and patients with Tourettes will also often say things out loud involuntarily. The condition can also cause spasms, and this can also cause the eye to twitch.
