I have retinopathy in both eyes and maculopathy in my left eye. I’m being screened every six months at present and currently do not need treatment.
I have a twitch in my left eye. It’s not visible to those looking at me but I am very much aware of it. It use to come and go, but more recently it’s there permanently, no matter what time of day, even when my eyes are shut I can still feel it twitching.
Everything I read says see your GP if it lasts more than two weeks. It’s now been about 10 weeks since this twitch started.
I’ve had an eye test, bought new prescription glasses and the optician said this can happen with stress and tiredness. However, I’m not convinced this is down to stress. The optician also picked up I had a cataract that was well developed in my right eye and one was developing in my left, but they didn’t need treatment. For the last three years I’ve also had high pressure in both eyes but further testing for glaucoma was negative. Three years ago glaucoma testing was done at the hospital, this year it was done via a specialist clinic in Specsavers!
Has anyone experienced this twitch and should I be asking my GP to refer to the hospital eye clinic for further testing?
