Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment for Myokymia


Myokymia is an involuntary, spontaneous twitching of a few muscles or bundles within a muscle that is not enough to move a joint.

Myokymia is an umbrella term that can refer to multiple types of twitching.


These include superior oblique myokymia , facial myokymia , ocular myokymia , and eyelid myokymia.

Eyelid myokymia is the most common, and is the kind we deal with at Eyes Now.


Some patients report dealing with symptoms of severe myokymia for months.

Causes of Myokymia There are several potential causes of myokymia.


To prevent myokymia, it is important to avoid these triggers.

It's important to note that not every single person may develop the same myokymia symptoms.


Myokymia Treatment If possible, take breaks throughout the day to rest your eyes. Even though professional treatment for myokymia is usually unnecessary, there are still measures we can take to treat it in severe cases.
