There are many causes of a twitching eye, all of them not serious.
Stress, lack of sleep, an increase or decrease in Caffeine, an increase or decrease in Nicotine, and eye strain can create a twitch.
Your eyelid muscles are on a "hair-trigger" due to the fact they have to protect the eye in a hurry if necessary. They are prone to sudden changes in the body.
If the twitch becomes a spasm (visible to others/affecting the vision) then you should get it checked.
