4 Common Eye Problems

0 Comments

 
Most people experience eye problems at some point in their lives. Most of these eye problems minor and will go away on their own or with a little assistance. As an optometrist, you can bet I’ve seen my share of eye issues over the years. From common eye problems to the occasional odd or bizarre circumstance, almost nothing surprises me anymore. Let’s look at some common eye issues, what you need to know, and what you can do about it.
​
Of course, no article is a substitute for seeing a professional optometrist when it comes to your eyesight. Please don’t hesitate to call us for any eye issue, even if it is minor.

Eye Twitching

I get asked about eye twitching a lot. Many people have experienced this involuntary movement of the eyelid or muscles around the eye. Although eye twitching is harmless, it can certainly be annoying. An eye twitch may last a few minutes, a few hours or even a few weeks. Eye twitching may be associated with several other health issues.
  • Fatigue
  • Stress
  • Caffeine consumption
  • Pink eye
  • Panic disorder or panic attack
  • Tourette syndrome
Eye twitching will go away on its own without intervention. If you find yourself experiencing eye twitching for an extended period, lie down and rest.
