Mr. Chen is a businessman. Once he went out to discuss business, and suddenly his eyelids on his left began to thrive. He had heard the saying "the left eye twitches wealth, the right eye twitches disaster", and believed that this was a good omen . He did not expect that the cooperation on that day was indeed very smooth.
But after that, his left eyelid still twitched, and even developed eyelid twitches. Since that day, it has been accompanied by irregular and paroxysmal left eyelid twitches. However, due to superstition of "left eye twitching wealth", he has never taken it seriously.
Until half a year later, the left eyelid twitching range had developed to the left corner of the mouth, and even the entire left face began to twitch and numbness, and even speech was affected during the attack. Only then did he come to the hospital for medical treatment and was finally diagnosed with facial spasm . After treatment, his left eyelid twitch finally stopped.
The doctor reminds that eyelid twitching has nothing to do with luck. If it lasts for a long time, you should seek medical examination in time.
1. "The left eye twitches wealth, the right eye twitches disaster"? Don’t be superstitious about
“The left eye twitches wealth, the right eye twitches disaster” may be related to the saying of the left green dragon and the right white tiger.
From the perspective of Zhou Yi, it believes that the left eye is the Qinglong, which represents hope and anger, and can also be extended to money and happy events. Therefore, many people regard the left eye twitching as the Qinglong launching is a happy event, so they associate the left eye twitching with money. The right eye represents , White Tiger , which is a bad habit, so it is believed that the right eye twitches is a disaster.
But in fact, the statement "left eye twitches wealth, right eye twitches disaster" has no scientific basis.
Eyelial twitching is actually an overexcitation of the nerves that control the eye muscles and involuntary contractions, which will cause tremors in the eye muscles and surrounding skin, causing eyelid tremors. In other words, Eyelid twitching is actually the muscles that control the beating of the eyelid .
There are two reasons for eyelid sprinting:
One is a physiological factor , which is specifically manifested as the left and right eyes twitching; the attack time is irregular; the duration is short; the recurrence time is different, and it appears intermittent attack; slight beating, and then it will recover on its own.
The causes of physiological eyelid twitching are mostly related to bad living habits, such as excessive eye use, excessive stress, appetite for tobacco and alcohol, and emotional tension.
is a pathological factor , which is often accompanied by symptoms such as dry eyes, soreness, tears, and fear of light. The main causes are eye diseases (myopia, conjunctivitis, astigmatism, keratitis, foreign bodies in the eyes, eye trauma, inverted eyelids, etc.) and non-eye diseases (tumors, neurological lesions).
When eyelid twitching, don’t believe in the saying “left eye twitching, right eye twitching”. If there are the following situations, seek medical attention in time:
- eye twitching lasts for more than a few weeks;
- accompanied by dipsive or headache;
- secondary face or other twitching;
- accompanied by other eye abnormalities, such as swelling of the eyes, redness, eyelid drooping , tears, etc.

If you have symptoms such as dry eyes and foreign body sensation, you need to be alert to symptoms that may be dry eyes, which may also be accompanied by burning, itching, congestion, Photophobia, pain, blurred vision, etc. Long-term suffering from dry eyes may lead to keratoconjunctival lesions, which not only affects vision, but also causes blindness.

3. What you think is "good" habit is actually very hurtful! 3 misunderstandings should be avoided
Most modern people work with computers for a long time, so many people like to carry eye drops with them, and drop them from time to time, thinking that this can protect your eyes. In fact, you should also pay attention to eye drops. If you drop them wrongly, you can easily hurt your eyes.
If you drop eye drops directly on the eyeball, it is easy to cause irritation to the cornea. The correct method for should be to drip into the conjunctival sac, that is, the lower eyelid , which can greatly reduce the irritation to the eyes.
. The more you drop, the better
Some people like to drop more eye drops. In fact, 1 to 2 drops are enough each time. The volume of the conjunctival sac is limited, and no matter how many drops you drop, you cannot gain more effects.
It is recommended that wet eyes can be applied 4 to 5 times a day. If it is an eye drop for treating eye diseases, it should be used according to the instructions or doctor's instructions.
. Frequent use of
No matter what type of eye drops it is, it has a specified frequency and treatment time. If used frequently for a long time, it may lead to adverse reactions.
For example, long-term use of hormone eye drops may cause cataract , glaucoma , etc., and may even lead to diseases such as corneal fungal infections.
