About Michael J. Wojciak, O.D. Expertise I am an Optometrist with 21 yrs experience.
I currently practice primary eye care in Lombard & Schaumburg,
Illinois. I specialize in all types of contact lenses.
Please forward appropriate questions pertaining to eye exams, glasses or contact lenses only. I will always attempt to be as "specific" as I can on my answers. This is often difficult when the questions do not provide enough information or visual presentation is needed.
***I will reject any question involving self-prescribing of contact lenses or involving contact lens measurements/comparisons (such as changing base curves, measurement comparisons between brands etc). Contact lenses are a medical device and need to be properly fit by your Doctor. Also in respect for patient privacy, I will not answer third party questions, unless a parent or guardian is asking a question about their child.***
I appreciate your confidence.

Question The muscle below my right eye began twitching constantly in the second month of pregnancy. My OB said it could be related but I gave birth 6 weeks ago and it is still twitching. I try to limit my caffeine intake but it hasn't seemed to help. Could this be anything serious? Is there anything I can do to stop it?
Answer Hi Amy,
In all my years of practice, eyelid twitching is usually due to some form of stress. It cold be stress on the eyes from not wearing the proper prescription, stress due to lack of sleep, stress because you forgot to pay the gas bill etc, etc. If you have not had an eye exam in the last year, I would start there. Pregnancy rarely has any bearing on your glasses prescription unless you were diabetic during your pregnancy.
I hope this helps,
Dr. Wojciak
