Twitching in eyes
Hi
There is twitching in my right eye throughout the day.
I don't know if it's because of dryness.
I have a Lubrex eye drop.
Can I use it safely?
Thanks

You can use Lubrex eye drops but one has to see why you are getting it. Try it for a few days if still not better you can come for a visit. Clinic is open full day Monday to Fri . Saturday half day.
