Never mind the twitching

For the past couple of weeks, my eyes have been twitching like crazy. Mainly my left eye, but my right one has been twitching some also. (Thankfully, not both at the same time.)
Per EyeDoctorGuide.com, causes include:
- Corneal irritation or injury
- Stress
- Lack of sleep
- Fatigue
- Prolonged staring or eye strain
- Neurological disorders
- Possibly hereditary
Well, that doesn’t really help a whole lot. Corneal irritation? Probably not, but my eyes have been really dry and irritated lately due to allergies and air conditioning, and wearing my glasses instead of contacts hasn’t really helped. Stress? Yep. Got plenty of that. Lack of sleep and fatigue? I’m exhausted. Prolonged staring or eye strain? I sit at a computer all day, so yeah. Neurological disorders? At this point, I wouldn’t rule it out. Heredity? Well, probably not, but who knows.
I’ve also seen some sites that say it can be caused by a vitamin deficiency (magnesium and potassium). That seems plausible too.
So I guess I just need to eat a banana and go to bed. Sounds like a plan to me.
