Why do my lower eyelids twitch?

I remember there was a period of time in high school when my eyelids twitched for a week straight, and then the next week my college entrance exam went particularly well. So I still think that eyelid twitching is a sign, a sign of good or bad things happening. In fact, everyone knows that eyelid twitching is definitely caused by eye fatigue, but they will still find reasons to put themselves in a good mood.

Medically speaking, 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 disease, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, conjunctivitis, keratitis... Most eyelid twitching caused by eye muscle fatigue, mental tension, etc. can be recovered by relieving stress and getting proper rest. If eyelid twitching is caused by refractive error, it can usually be relieved by correcting it. If you have eye diseases, they can be cured through ophthalmological treatment.

There is a popular saying among the people that "left eye twitching means wealth, right eye twitching means disaster", so eyelid twitching can cause many people to worry. But doctors don't think so. "Eyelid twitching is actually a manifestation of increased nerve excitement. But if it lasts for a long time, even both eyes twitch, which brings trouble to life. It is understood that many people have eyelid twitching for several years. For example, some patients start with a little twitching in the upper eyelid, and then slowly develop downwards, the lower eyelid also begins to twitch, and even the corners of the mouth begin to twitch, and when it twitches severely, they feel nausea and dizziness. These patients suffer from hemifacial spasm, either on the left, right, or both sides.

In fact, no matter what the reason for eye twitching is, people often need to comfort themselves. Maybe if your eyes twitch, good things will really happen. After intense study or work, thinking like this occasionally can be a good way to relieve stress. Sometimes don't be too serious. The most important thing is to give yourself a good mood.
