Lightbulb there are studies

showing eye twitches respond to Omega-3 fatty acids...like fish oil.

It is a simple thing to try and not expensive and good for your body in many other ways.

The control of blepharospasm by essential fatty acids.
Mostofsky DI, Yehuda S, Rabinovitz S, Carasso R.

Dopamine depletion induced by administration of Ro4-1284 produces a condition of rapid and repeated eye blinking in rats. This condition mimics the human disorder, blepharospasm, which often accompanies parkinsonism and other dopamine deficiency disorders. When given a 3-week course of a compound (SR-3) developed from a specific ratio of two free polyunsaturated fatty acids - linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid - the eye blinking rate following administration of Ro4-1284 is reduced to saline and no drug control levels. These results suggest a favorable prospect for essential fatty acids in general, and SR-3 in particular, to provide an improved therapeutic option for the clinical management of benign essential blepharospasm.

I have a long thread on Vitamin forum with more information on the essential fats we all need. Please take a look.
