What is the reason behind occasional and discontineous blinking? I noticed that it's frequency increases when stressed or worried. On the other hand it sometimes occurs for no obvious reason.

2nd opinion

Dr. Salem Abu Alghanam Ophthalmology

this condition is due to increased innervation to the eyelid muscle ,and usually due to stress and high caffeine consumption,so try to decrease drinking coffee and tee ,also you can try doing warm compresses to the lids.
