Eye Twitching

An old Chinese saying “the twitching of the left eyelid indicates the coming of good fortune; while the right one is considered inauspicious".

Scientists referred eye twitching as eye muscle spasm which attributed to a eye problem known as blepharospasm.

The condition is actually caused by uncontrollable contractions of the muscles around the eyelids under certain conditions such as stress, air pollution, strained eyes or fatigue.

Sometimes people experience twitching under the eye; others experience it in the upper eyelid.

Doctors have assured that minor eye twitches usually do not worsen. A mild eye twitch will usually go away on its own. Just cut down on stress and get plenty of rest.

Watch these causes -
  • Stress
  • Irritation of the Cornea or Conjunctiva
  • Fatigue
  • Lack of sleep
  • Prolonged staring at a computer screen or television
  • Nervous system disorders
  • Excessive caffeine intake
