What causes right eyelid twitching?

The eyelid is a very important layer of tissue on the eye, because the eyelid can protect the safety of the eyes, and the eyelid is a very sensitive tissue, which has a stronger reaction to abnormal conditions of the human body. Among them, eyelid twitching is the most common manifestation. For most people, the symptoms of eyelid twitching do not have a major impact, but the reasons behind it cannot be ignored. Let’s take a look at what is going on with the twitching of the right eyelid?

"Eyelid twitching" is the twitching of the eyelid muscles, that is, spasm of the eyelid muscles. Sometimes it is limited to the upper or lower eyelids, and sometimes the upper and lower eyelids twitch at the same time. In severe cases, it affects the facial muscles and muscles at the corners of the mouth. The muscle movements of the face and eyelids are controlled by the facial nerve. When the facial nerve is stimulated, it will cause twitching of the muscles it controls. If only the branch that controls the eyelids is affected, only eyelid twitching will occur.

Causes of eyelid twitching: Recently, you are in a depressed and unstable mood due to some reason, which makes you feel confused; your heart always foresee the coming of some bad consequences, causing mental anxiety; your facial nerve is stimulated by some kind of stimulation, such as a tumor in the brain, inflammation or scar that stimulates the facial nerve. Secondly, chronic eye inflammation such as conjunctivitis, frequent rubbing of eyes with hands, irritation of eyelid muscles, etc. can also cause eyelid twitching. Mild cases are mostly related to eye inflammation.

Guidance:

Mild eyelid twitching only brings some uncomfortable feeling and will not cause adverse consequences. Most of them will disappear automatically after rest, and sometimes they need to be supplemented with medication. If conjunctivitis is treated and vitamin B, B6 are supplemented at the same time, the discomfort will be more obvious if the upper and lower eyelids twitch. What's more, severe upper and lower eyelid twitching can cause the inability to open the eyes, and the affected eye is in a spasmodic closed state, which will inevitably affect the vision and cause the patient's mental distress. But it will not bring adverse effects on life or health.

If the eyelid twitching is severe, it may be blepharospasm. Blepharospasm is an unexplained spasm of the muscles in the facial nerve innervation area. In mild cases, the orbicularis oculi muscle has paroxysmal, involuntary, and frequent small twitches that do not affect eye opening; in severe cases, the twitching is obvious, making it difficult to open the eyes and affecting vision. If you are concerned about this problem, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. It may also be Meige syndrome.
