Q: Twitching Left Eye Only When I Sneeze...
asked by: wahmwriter on December 24th, 2005

I have a twitching left eye only when I sneeze. This started after I recently had a tooth extraction on the left side. My eye closes and twitches uncontrollably for about 20 seconds and then I can open my eye again.

It also twitches under the eye (where a person would have dark circles) several times a day since the oral surgery.

Nerve damage? Muscle damage? Or coincidence?

Any one ever have a twitchy eye? :?

Thanks.

yep
my left eye twitches after i sneeze or yawn or get excited/get my heart rate up. I don't know why tho, and I've never had any tooth extractions or anything tho. I've just gotten used to it now (it is a kinda annoying tho since I'm blind in my right eye and the twitching in my left eye gets to the point where it makes my vision blur when it twitches).

In my case...
In my case, my rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking is caused by the nerve-disrupting side effects of Tardive Dyskinesia developed from the intake of certain medications. Luckily I have managed to get it totally cured through acupuncture treatment (an alternative needleless one).

Eye twitch
Yes, my right eye twitches when I sneeze. It is happening more and more. I had a crown done a year ago, on my right side. Could this be causing the twitch? Never thought of that. I am not on any medications, other than Aleeve if my joints ache after work. I work in retail and the sneezing comes from dust/perfumes that I come in contact with but the twitching is annoying since I have to turn to rub my eye to make it stop and I feel like customers are looking at me.
