    both lower eye lids flicker
    Basically this has resurfaced quite recently where both of my lower eye lids flicker randomly. It doesn't flicker so much that they actually shut my eyes but they do cause a weird sensation which I can see in the mirror. Does anyone else have this? What do you do to prevent it happening? Oh btw I wear glasses but occasionally contact lenses but this problem has started before I started wearing them.. Is it just lack of sleep? Not sure whether to see a doctor or not coz if it is curable at home and other people have experienced it...
    Thanks ...

    I usually get that when I've just not slept in ages and have stayed up on the computer

    I get it sometimes with the lower lid on my left eye but I think that may be caused more by my tic than anything else.

    Can be caused by tiredness or stress.

    Potassium can help. Try eating some bananas.
