For 1 day, my eyelid has been twitching and I feel like my eye is becoming dry. What should I do?

If you have been experiencing eyelid twitching for 1 day and feel like your eye is becoming dry, it is likely a common issue that usually resolves on its own. Causes can include fatigue, stress, excessive screen time, intense physical activity, or high caffeine intake. Using lubricating eye drops can help alleviate any discomfort. Look for drops with ingredients like carboxymethylcellulose, hypromellose, or hyaluronic acid for the most comfort. Avoid products with benzalkonium chloride as a preservative, as it can be irritating. If the twitching persists after 1-2 weeks, it's a good idea to see your family doctor or optometrist for further evaluation.
