What are the symptoms of right eye twitching

As the saying goes, eyes are the windows to the soul. And the human body is a very amazing and wonderful structure. So for the eyelids, its main role and function is to protect the eyes. But we have also heard that eyelid twitching sometimes indicates the occurrence of certain things and is a good or bad sign. So let us understand what the symptoms of right eyelid twitching are.

1. What is the scientific explanation for eyelid twitching?

Eyelid twitching can be divided into upper eyelid twitching and lower eyelid twitching. In life, many people have experienced eyelid twitching. Twitching often occurs in the upper eyelid and sometimes in the lower eyelid, and is not controlled by a person's thinking or consciousness. Eyelid twitching can be divided into physiological and psychological. The former usually passes quickly and sometimes lasts for a few days; the latter is more serious and tends to develop progressively.

The eyelids are responsible for closing the eyes. What we call eyelid twitching is actually caused by abnormal excitement of the nerves controlling the eyelid muscles. That is, some of the orbicularis oculi muscle fibers cannot continue to contract independently in a short period of time, thereby affecting the skin overlying it.

Generally, eyelid twitching occurs more frequently when you are overly tired, use your eyes for too long or lack of sleep. Other factors such as strong light, stimulation caused by drugs, foreign objects blown into the eyes, frequent smoking and drinking, etc. can irritate the eyes and cause eyelid twitching.

It is understood that the common causes of eyelid twitching in life include excessive fatigue, tension, eye diseases or improper use of the eyes, as well as trauma. These factors can stimulate the eye nerves, causing muscle contraction, and then cause muscle twitching. Physiological eyelid twitching is generally mild. If it is caused by overwork, it will get better after rest. Even if there are causes such as inflammation, it can be relieved through treatment. The cause of eyelid twitching after hemifacial spasm is in the brain, which is difficult to heal on its own, and the development trend is progressive worsening.

2. What’s the matter with my right eyelid twitching these past two days?

1. Most eyelid twitching caused by eye muscle fatigue, mental tension, etc. can be cured by relaxing stress and taking a proper rest. If eyelid twitching is caused by refractive error, it can usually be relieved by vision correction. If there is an eye disease, it can also be cured by an ophthalmologist. If the eyelid twitching worsens and causes blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm, a neurosurgeon is required for treatment.

2. The scientific name for eyelid twitching is "eyelid tremor", which is mainly caused by the repeated contraction of a very thin muscle inside the eyelid - the orbicularis oculi muscle. There are two causes. One is due to lack of rest and sleep, or because of anemia, excessive smoking and drinking, the other is caused by eye diseases, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, conjunctivitis, keratitis... Eyelid twitching is something that everyone may encounter in life, and for most people it will disappear on its own in a short time. Therefore, when your eyelids just twitch, do not seek treatment immediately. Instead, pay more attention to rest, relax your mind, and maintain a good attitude. At the same time, strengthen local hot compresses and observe whether the eyelid twitching is gradually decreasing or increasing, whether there is a trend of downward expansion, and whether there is a linear pulling sensation from the area around the eyes to the corners of the mouth. In addition, look in the mirror and feel to see if there are any obvious atrophy (depression). If your eyelids still twitch after a week, you should go to a professional medical institution for diagnosis and treatment.
