Hello, How often does this happen? Sometimes eyelid tremors (eyelid fasciculation) can be secondary to fatigue, stress, taking new medications, dry eyes, etc. This symptom can also be present with eye conditions such as blepharitis or glaucoma. If you are unable to identify a causative factor, it would be advisable to consult your physician, especially since the problem has persisted for several weeks. I hope I have answered your question, good continuity. Maeva Di-Ré, Pharmacy Student Supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, Pharmacist Thank you! I agree with the optometrist; it will eventually pass!"
