  Low iron can cause lots of problem, such as anemia, red eyes, nerve deafness, etc, and eye twitching is one of these problems. You'd better intake more food with iron such as animal liver, fish, egg, etc, or you can take pills as supplements. By the way, take more vitamin C to help your body absorb iron.

  As far as I know, low icon is not the cause for eye twitching. Instead if you have low iron, you will get eye soreness, bluish tint to the whites of the eyes, and papilledema. Some of the eye twitching can be the magnesium deficiency and some neurological conditions. If you have long periods of eye twitching, go to see your doctor and indicate an underlying condition.
