Can being irritated cause eye twitch?

Question: Can being irritated cause eye twitch?

Answer: It’s unlikely that a single episode of irritation would cause eye twitching but it could add to existing stress and sort of push you over the edge. Stress is a well known cause of eye twitches so you should try eliminating or reducing the stress inducing things in your life so that an episode where something irritates you doesn’t have such a strong impact on your body. Many people find that simply starting a workout routine or taking up meditation or other relaxing activities eliminates their twitches in just a couple days in addition to all the other health benefits.
