There are many times when we feel tired and suffer from twitching eye. Eyelid contraction and eye irritation are very common when we are out of our homes. While top eyelid twitches, the bottom eyelid doesn’t cause any problem. There are people who even reported twitching eye for about 2 weeks.
Twitching eye can be a result of any of the problem mentioned below:

  1. Stress: At times we are not able to give proper rest to our body which results in strain. This strain also affects our eye and results in twitching of the eye.
  2. Feeling of tiredness: When we are tired we should not force our body to work more. This is because when we are tired the efficiency of our body to work reduces to minimum. Lack of sleep will always make you suffer from sudden  twitching eye problem.
  3. Over strain to the eyes: you should at least give 15 minutes break to your eyes after every 2 hours of continuous work. Keep your eyes closed so that they can gain moisture.
  4. High intake of caffeine: Experts say that higher intake of coffee triggers the twitching of eye.
  5. Alcohol drinking: Just like caffeine alcohol also boosts the twitching problem.
  6. Dry eyes with no moisture: Due to pollution on the road and other problems usually we face irritation in our eyes. This makes our eyes dry and triggers twitching eye.
  7. Nutritional imbalances in the body due to unhealthy food habits.
  8. Eye Allergies

The above mentioned problems can trigger twitching eye anytime. Twitching of eye in doctor’s term is called “myokymia”.  Do not panic if your eye starts twitching. This is quite general and can be controlled easily.

The twitching can really be irritating if doesn’t stop on time. Due to twitching eye people are not able to work properly. There can be many remedies to twitching eye. If you suffer from this problem regularly then you use eye drops (antihistamine) which are recommended by doctors. You can even use rose water. Many people use Botox injections to cure this. If you use contacts then you must handle them nicely to control twitching eye.

Dr. Barry Seibel Discusses LASIK

Alternatives to LASIK Eye Surgery

Dr. Barry Seibel feels it is of vital importance for his patients to be well acquainted with the LASIK eye surgery procedure and its alternatives in order to make an informed decision regarding the future of their vision. Dr. Seibel emphasizes that any form of refractive surgery is a purely elective procedure, not considered a medical necessity. His patients can choose whether or not having LASIK or any alternative is in their best interest.

Dr. Barry Seibel explains that there are other options for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They all have their appropriate applications. The key is finding a surgeon that doesn’t a personal agenda and is qualified to evaluate patients for all of the options, working with the patient to find the best fit. Dr. Seibel has performed over 60,000 refractive surgical procedures, a clear product of his extensive training and experience, as well as his great concern for each of his patients.

  • Glasses/Contacts: Dr. Barry Seibel reminds us that the easiest, safest and most common alternatives to any refractive surgery are eyeglasses and contact lenses. But even those have their drawbacks, including interfering with lifestyle choices and the hassles of daily care.
  • PRK: Dr. Barry Seibel considers photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), as an important alternative to LASIK. It doesn’t require cutting a flap into the cornea, the eye’s front clear covering. With PRK, a laser reshapes the cornea’s surface. Dr. Seibel explains that the modern version is wavefront-guided PRK, using the same computer software developed to improve LASIK. This software maps out tiny irregularities in the cornea, providing a three-dimensional map that customizes treatment and minimizes side effects in both LASIK and PRK. Dr. Seibel says people with thin corneas or corneal irregularities can be better PRK candidates. PRK takes a few weeks of healing before sharper vision emerges.
  • CK: Dr. Barry Seibel utilizes conductive keratoplasty (CK) to correct farsightedness or astigmatism by beaming radiofrequency waves onto the cornea to reshape the edge.
  • Implantable Contact Lens: Dr. Barry Seibel explains that the procedure for implanting ICL’s (implantable contact lenses) are nearly the same as routine cataract operations, one of the most common surgical procedures in the world. A tiny hard plastic lens is implanted through a small incision in the eye, and placed in front of the natural lens. People with severe nearsightedness, who do not qualify for LASIK or PRK, may be excellent candidates for ICL implantation. ICL’s refocus light entering the eye for improved distance vision. Because the natural lens stays in place, patients retain the same accommodation they had before surgery.
  • Phakic IOL: Dr. Barry Seibel uses refractive lens exchange to replace a patient’s own lens with an artificial one. This is essentially cataract surgery offered to patients who are not good candidates for LASIK, often because of extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness. Dr. Seibel offers options that include multi-focal type lenses that can allow for both distance and reading vision.
  • Intacs: Dr. Barry Seibel suggests corneal rings called Intacs for patients with mild nearsightedness. Intacs are transparent crescents about the thickness of a contact lens implanted to form a ring around the cornea’s edge. Intacs flatten the cornea without permanently affecting tissue.

Dr. Barry Seibel offers a free, no-hassel, no-obligation LASIK consultation to help you decide which vision correction method is best for you. We invite you to contact our office and make your appointment today!
