twitching eye
Involuntary lid flutter
A twitching eye is an involuntary spasm of the eyelid muscles, usually harmless and temporary.
Stress, fatigue, and caffeine are common triggers.
The phrase also describes a visible sign of irritation or barely contained frustration: His twitching eye was the only hint of his annoyance.
