My eyes are throbbing and hurting, what's going on?

Many people have experienced eye twitching, but if the eye twitching is accompanied by pain symptoms, you should be careful. Twitching eye pain is related to many factors. If the pain lasts too long, seek early examination and treatment. In this case, you should also be careful not to overuse your eyes.

1. Eyelid twitching may be caused by lack of sleep, fatigue, cold, etc. However, if the eyelid twitching lasts for a long time, further examination is needed to determine whether there is a possibility of facial spasm. Usually eyelid twitching will recover automatically after a few days. You can close your eyes and rest or apply a hot towel to your eyes to improve the condition.

2. If the eyelid twitching lasts for a long time and the facial muscles, eyebrows and corners of the mouth twitch together, it may be a spasm caused by stimulation of the facial nerve. You should see a doctor as soon as possible to further examine the cause. A common cause of hemifacial spasm is compression and stimulation of the facial nerve by microvessels. This condition requires cranial magnetic resonance angiography to clarify, and treatment requires microvascular decompression. If there is no clear cause, you can also take antispasmodics under the guidance of a doctor. Therefore, it is recommended to see a doctor first to find out whether there is a clear cause of the disease, and then treat it symptomatically.

3. If the cause is conjunctivitis, you can use pearl eye drops or moisturizing eye drops for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Drinking chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea can help relieve eye pain. If it is related to increased blood pressure and intraocular pressure, it is recommended to test the blood pressure and intraocular pressure to see if there are any abnormalities. Pay attention to rest more and avoid fatigue.
