Why do my lower eyelids always twitch

Eyelid twitching is not necessarily a good sign. What people used to say about left eye twitching bringing good luck and right eye twitching bringing disaster is not necessarily correct. Everything has two sides. While we see the good side, we should also be aware that it may have a bad side. Although this left eye twitching or right eye twitching disease does not necessarily bring good luck, it is certain that it may be a disease. Therefore, if you find it, you must seek medical attention in time. What if it is really a disease? Timely treatment will be beneficial to us. Eyelid twitching has the following reasons:

One is due to lack of rest and sleep, or due to anemia, excessive smoking and drinking

One 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 period of time. Therefore, when your eyelids just twitch, do not seek treatment immediately, but pay more attention to rest, relax your mind, and maintain a good attitude; at the same time, strengthen local hot compresses, and pay attention to observe whether the eyelid twitching is gradually decreasing or increasing, whether there is a trend of downward expansion, and a linear pulling sensation from the eye area to the corner of the mouth. In addition, look in the mirror, take a look, and touch to see if there is any obvious atrophy (depression). If your eyelids are still twitching after a week, you should go to a professional medical institution for diagnosis and treatment.

Eye twitching actually refers to eyelid twitching. The eyelids are medically called "eyelids". They are divided into upper eyelids and lower eyelids, and are mainly composed of the orbicularis oculi muscle and the palpebral elevator muscle. With the support of the optic nerve, facial nerve, etc., the eyelids complete the functions of blinking and closing the eyes, protecting the eyeball and cleaning and lubricating the conjunctiva. Eye twitching is not caused by the skin, but by the orbicularis oculi muscle and palpebrae palpebral levator muscle contracting under the control of the nerves, causing the surface skin to move accordingly. Eye twitching is medically called "eyelid tremor". There are two main reasons for it: one is insomnia or lack of sleep, excessive eye fatigue, neurasthenia, anemia, excessive smoking and drinking, irregular menstruation, etc.; the other is caused by certain eye diseases, such as refractive errors, conjunctivitis, keratitis, and sty. Our eyes twitch occasionally, mostly due to lack of rest or eating spicy food or taking certain medicines. This kind of eye twitching does not affect your health and has nothing to do with good or bad fortune. However, if eye twitching occurs frequently, lasts for a long time, or has a large amplitude, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Everything has its scientific basis. What we usually say about the left eye twitching bringing wealth and the right eye twitching bringing disaster are just jokes and should not be taken seriously. Although some old sayings do sound reasonable, and there are indeed some things that science cannot explain, the left eyelid twitching is something that has indeed been solved by science, so everyone should take it seriously.
