Eye twitching or tics are common and may affect us all at some time. Generally the bottom eyelid contracts and this is felt as a spasm or involuntary movement by the sufferer, but is not often noticed by those around them.
Usually only one eye is affected, but occasionally both eyes may be affected, and it can in some cases continue for several days.
The medical term for this condition is called myokymia, but it not regarded as a condition that needs or responds to any specific medication.
These twitches are generally caused by tiredness, stress or eye strain. Dry eyes and allergies may also make the eyelids more likely to twitch, so they may respond to specific treatments for these conditions.
Eye strain may occur if your vision is not as good as it should be – if you need glasses or have a visual problem then the muscles of your eye may be overworked, causing twitching. It is helpful to rule out visual disturbances by having your eyes checked by an optometrist if you suffer from tired eyes or frequent eye twitching.
Ensuring that you are well rested, eat healthy foods and exercise regularly can help to reduce stress. For some people excessive alcohol and caffeine containing drinks can also increase stress and cause twitching eyes, so removing these from your diet can be helpful in preventing eye twitching.
Dry eyes are common as we age. Staring at a computer or other screens may also worsen dry eyes and this is treated by lubricating eye drops which can be used frequently to relieve sore or twitching eyes.
If you are bothered by twitching eyes then talk to your community pharmacist. They can advise you about suitable treatments to use to relieve your eyelid twitches. They can also give you help with managing this eye problem as well as referring you for more specific help from an optician or doctor to treat any underlying cause of this condition if suitable treatments are not available over the counter from a pharmacy.
When you step into a pharmacy, you expect more than just shelves of products. You want support, knowledge, and a familiar face. At Family Pharmacy Granville, we believe a pharmacy should feel like part of your everyday life. Like a trusted neighbour who’s always there when you need them.
We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are part of your community. And we’re proud to support your health, your family, and your future with genuine care.
A community pharmacy is about people, not just prescriptions. It is a place where locals come for honest answers, everyday health solutions, and friendly service. Whether you are picking up your regular medication, asking about a new script, or looking for relief from seasonal allergies, we are here to help with practical advice you can count on.
At Family Pharmacy Granville, we serve more than just customers. We support families from all walks of life. Our team takes the time to listen, explain and recommend what is best for you. It is this personalised approach that sets a real pharmacy apart from the rest.
In a busy world filled with large chain stores and self-serve checkouts, the local touch is often missing. But health is personal. It affects your body, your peace of mind, and the people you love. That is why community pharmacies still matter.
Our Granville team understands the cultural diversity, languages and family dynamics that make this area unique. We help grandparents understand new medications. We explain side effects in simple terms. We work with local GPs to ensure your care is connected and consistent.
That is the role of a true community pharmacy. And it is a role we take seriously.
Being a chemist is more than stocking shelves. It means being prepared, being patient, and being present. Every interaction with our pharmacists and staff is based on respect, privacy and professional standards. We follow strict AHPRA guidelines so you always receive ethical and evidence-informed information.
We are also proud to offer essential pharmacy services like prescription dispensing, Webster-paks for easier medication management, health advice, and home delivery options for eligible patients. These services are designed to make your life easier, safer and more manageable.
As a family-owned and operated pharmacy, we understand the pressures families face. Health issues do not always come with a warning. Kids get fevers at night, pain can flare up on weekends, and stress doesn’t wait for business hours. That is why our team is ready with solutions that are practical and accessible.
Whether you need over-the-counter relief, a quick chat with a pharmacist, or help choosing the right baby care product, we’re here to guide you through it with care and compassion.
Our pharmacy is built on values that never go out of style — trust, reliability, and a genuine interest in your well-being. We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are your local pharmacy. And we are proud to be part of your journey, every step of the way.
