I use to have an eye twitch for a while, but it eventually went away. As far as I know, it didn't cause any damage to me (but that's just my two cents).
It's called
blepharospasm
if you want to find out more information.This is probably it.
Twitches. Unlike tics,the majority of muscle twitches are isolated occurrences, not repeated actions. Muscle twitches are also known as myoclonic jerks. They are entirely involuntary and cannot be controlled or suppressed.
One type of muscle twitch is benign essential blepharospasm. Blepharospasm refers to the muscles of one or both eyelids twitching uncontrollably. This often occurs repeatedly over a sustained period of time. In extreme cases, which are rare, benign essential blepharospasm may also involve the eyebrows, mouth, and neck.
While an eyelid twitch may mimic an eye-blinking tic, it is different because it cannot be controlled. It also occurs most often in adults, rather than in children. Your doctor may be able to determine whether you or your child is experiencing tics or an eyelid twitch based upon the symptoms.
Experts believe that the eyelid twitching of blepharospasm is caused by the misfiring of certain cells in one area of the brain. Eyelid twitches may be aggravated by having dry eyes. They may also be worsened by stress, lack of sleep, caffeine, and harsh light conditions. from the earlier link.

Hit your head off the table. Then youll get a body spasm, and you wont care about the eye twitching.
