My hubby has over the past couple of days been complaining of his eye fluttering(like it does occasionally)
Its happening to him a lot and can last for a hour or so,he says it feels like a vein or something pulsating.
He says it doesnt feel right and i keep seeing him put his hand over his eye,and look out of the other.He is going to make an appointment with optician tomorrow,does anyone have any idea what it could be?? Would he be better going to his Doctor or Optician.
Thanks

I then had to go into hospital for something completely unconnected and very unimportant, however, when they took my blood pressure it was found to be absurdly high. I have now been put on medication to lower my blood pressure and my eye hasn't fluttered since. I spoke to my doctor recently and mention the eye thing and he said that its cause was very likely linked to the high blood pressure.Don't panic, your husbands problem might be completely different but its worth seeing his doctor just to be on the safe side.
My eyelids do this from time to time. In my case, my doctor said it happens when I am very tired or stressed, and also when I have some sort of buildup within my eyelid. I cannot recall what the buildup is, but he told me to run warm water on a cloth and put it on the eye lid - warm, but not too hot! I will do this if I have the fluttering for more than a couple of days.
