 [ Symptoms ] why is my right eyeball twitching  started almost a year ago very random it has gotten more and more frequent over the last few weeks now its more than a few times a day no redness or swelling or tearing or any other symptoms i do have astigmatism and when it does twitch my vision blurs slightly no insurance though so i cannot even have it checked out til march worried it could be something serious would appreciate some advice [ Disease ] i am sorry you are going through this it is always scary when we have a problem with our eyes the first thing to clarify is this is it your actual eyeball that is twitching or is it your eyelid twitching of the eyelid is called blepharospasm and is quite common it tends to come and go as you described it can get worse and more frequent from time to time and then clear up for long periods stress fatigue and caffeine are common culprits of blepharospasm if it is your eyeball that is twitching that would be more worrisome to me when a person is eyeballs twitch it is usually both of them if your eyeball itself is the problem i would advise you to see a doctor i realize you said you do not have insurance but most communities have free or low cost health care clinics you could start by getting checked at one of those just to calm any fears you may have about this situation i wish you all the best
