Vegetables are great for you, but they aren't going to help you with this.  Your eyes are probably getting tired of focusing so hard or they aren't able to focus as much as you need them to.  If this is something that bothers you, you should make an appointment with your eye doctor.  Often glasses or a few simple eye exercises will help a lot.

It could be eye strain.  Are you getting enough sleep?  If you are studying, or reading, or staring at a computer monitor or TV for long hours, your eyes can become strained and this is nature's way of telling you to give it a rest.  Try doing something else for a while, take a nap, massage your muscles very gently under your eye.  Get lots of rest.

usually stress. \n\nIt can also be caused from some type of irritation.  (like a breeze blowing in the eyes, dust)\n\ntiredness

If your eyes are itchy, you could be allergic to something.  If they get tired when you're reading or working on the computer, you may need stronger glasses or contacts.  Make an appointment with your eye doctor so he/she can determine for sure what the cause of your problems are and what to do about them.  Remember that using over-the-counter eye drops are only a temporary relief; they won't cure what's causing you to feel this way.

No, no, no!  That's a myth!  Gazing at anything too closely might cause eye strain, but only if a person is far-sighted and has a hard time seeing items up close.  Even if the eyes are strained, that's a very temporary condition, and more of an annoyance than a health problem.

If it doesn't go away, you should consider seeing your eye doctor.  Sometimes an eyelid twitch can be a sign of something a little more serious, like an internal eye infection.

Your vision in that eye might be getting weak. Mostly though, being too tired, or doing too much close work causes it. Try taking a break from reading, computer work, knitting, whatever....just take a break about every half hour or so to let your eyes rest. Be sure to get plenty of sleep too, that's the body's natural repairitive phase.

The precise cause of the twitching is unknown, and, in fact, it's not known if it's a disease of the motor nerves, the muscles, or the neuromuscular junction. However, anxiety is cleary a major contributing factor in many cases, and a high level of psychological stress appears to be a factor in others. Another factor that seems to be common in many cases is a history of regular strenuous exercise. Attention deficit disorder or a related disorder may be a contributing factor, and people with essential tremor appear to have a greater than normal likelihood of developing BFS. In addition, there are likely other genetic and environmental factors that make the patient more susceptible to Twitching.

Occasionally, your eye may twitch at random. This involuntary twitching of the eyelid muscle usually lasts less than a minute. But it can be bothersome. The cause of eyelid twitching isn't known. However, it's often associated with fatigue and stress. You may be able to relieve the twitching by gently massaging the affected eyelid.\n\nAn eyelid twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disease. But if that is the case, it's usually accompanied by other symptoms.

A friend of a friend of mine (unreliable, I know) had reading comprehension problems.  After a number of tests, they discovered that the problem stemmed from a sort of sensory overload.  The solution was for her to read text through a red filter.  It sounds a little wacky to me, but if it worked, that's kind of cool.  I hope that helps some.

Its due to the inability of the brain to control motor neurons and where it is sending the electrical impulses; also it can act like a short circuit where you say blink an eye, but signals fire muscles not only your eye but also in your neck which cause involuntary movement... we all take it for granted... you only notice this balance when something goes wrong..... I think for some conditions it can be very painful... just imagine how annoying that would be to you... these people deserve a lot of respect for what they have to put up with, not only the condition but the attitudes of people towards them.\n\n\nps: there are better ways to word that type of question... perhaps you could have used mentally handicap... to be retarded refers to being held back... and I dont think that is the case these days as most conditions are better understood.

Could be a combination of eyestrain, dehydration and tense muscles.  Get up and stretch frequently, focus your eyes on something distant frequently, drink lots of water.

(m)\n\nHave you ever wondered what makes the muscles around your eyes twitch and flutter from time to time? The answer to this question is relatively simple. And so is the remedy. \n\nAll of the six hundred plus muscles that exist throughout your body and head are supplied by nerves that originate in your brain. If you take it from the top, your brain induces a signal that travels down through your brain stem and spinal cord and out through peripheral nerves to reach each of your muscles. The flow of electricity through this pathway is what allows you to have motor control over your muscles.\n\nYour brain and spinal cord are much like the water tower in your city. Both are full of energy and just itching to gush electricity and water out through peripheral nerves and city water pipes, respectively. In the case of your municipal water supply, you are able to regulate how much water comes out of the pipes in your home with your faucets. In the case of your body, your peripheral nerves are your faucets and must regulate how much electron flow is allowed to come out of your spinal cord and travel to your muscles. \n\nGetting back to what causes a twitching eye, the twitching muscle in question is called your orbicularis oculi muscle. This muscle has two parts: a palpebral part that allows you to open and close your eyelids, and an orbital part that allows you to have a wide range of expressive looks with your eyes, a good example being when your eyes open really wide with surprise.\n\nThe peripheral nerve that acts as a faucet for your orbicularis oculi muscle is called the temporal branch of your facial nerve. So, for you to open and close your eyelids or open your eyes as wide as possible, the temporal branch of your facial nerve must allow just enough electricity to come out from your brain and brain stem and travel to your orbicularis oculi muscle. \n\nIn the vast majority of cases of a twitching or fluttering eye, the problem is with the temporal branch of the facial nerve. When this nerve becomes fatigued, it acts like a worn down water faucet - the flow of electrons is no longer smooth and even. The result is that your orbicularis oculi muscle will twitch or flutter as it receives jolts of uncontrolled information from your brain and brain stem. \n\nIn case you missed it, I just gave you the answer to the most common cause of a twitching eye: fatigue. And fatigue goes hand in hand with stress. \n\nWhen the muscles that surround your eyes twitch and flutter, chances are very good that you are fatigued and stressed. So the remedy for a twitching eye is rest and relaxation.\n\nNot muscle relaxants, not pain killers, not chiropractic adjustments.

Most of the time the "twitching" is caused by fatigue, sleepless nights, eye strain, constant rubbing, tired eyes from computers work, dry eyes, infection, stress, maybe even a hair or eyelash in the eye. Eye strain of many forms can trigger the response. It usually will clear up on its own. There is little that you can do except to moisten the eye, and clear it of any debris and/or get more sleep. \n\nIf the twitching does not stop in a few weeks, consult a Dr. Or if the eyelid does not fully close or if it is closing on its own. There are some serious underlying problems when this occurs.\n\nIt is usually nothing to worry about though, just try to drink plenty of water and get enough rest and sleep! Hope this helps.
