    I had one episode after stopping to eat half way on a 200 mile trip when my eyelids started jittering and I could hardly keep my eyes open. Removed my colored glasses and could see better. It stopped in about 4-5 minutes. They jitter sometimes after I eat supper at home, too. Or, if I use my eyes too much looking at a screen.

      I have experienced watery, jittery eyes as a side effect of Mestinon, usually occurring about an hour after taking the mestinon. My eyes clear up after a few mnutes. My neurologist prescribed glycopyrolate to lessen the negative side effects of the mestinon. It generally helps, but there are days when I still have to deal with jiettery, watery eyes.
