Let's look at it together

Why do eyelids jump?

It should be clear that 's statement that "the left eye jumps for money, the right eye jumps for disaster" has no scientific basis.

Eyelid twitching is called eyelid tremor in medicine. The eyelid refers to the eyelid. When the nerves that control the eyelid muscles are too excited, the orbicularis oculi muscle fibers will also contract and tremble, causing the eyelids to jump.

There are two types of eyelid jumping, physiological and pathological.

Most people’s eyelid twitching is physiological, and they often show as follows:

1. Jumping left and right;

2. The duration is very short;

3. The attack time is irregular;

4. Slight beating , It will automatically recover afterwards;

5. The recurrence time varies, ranging from a few hours to as long as three or four days.

There are many reasons for physiological eyelid throbbing, which are generally related to bad living habits.For example: long time use of eyes, addiction to tobacco and alcohol, excessive work pressure, emotional tension.

This kind of physiological eyelid twitch, because the symptoms are mild, the duration is short, it will not harm vision and health, and it will heal itself. Just adjust your mood and sleep, or take some vitamin B2. treatment.

However, there is a type of eyelid twitch, but it should be paid attention to because it can cause blindness.

Be careful! Skipping eyelids may also cause blindness.

There is also a pathological saccade. In addition to eyelids always twitching, it is often accompanied by sore eyes, dryness, photophobia, and tearing. Pathological eyelid twitching does not heal by itself and needs to go to the hospital for treatment.

There are many reasons for pathological eyelid skipping, which can be roughly divided into two types: eye diseases and non-eye diseases.

Eye diseases , common myopia, astigmatism , intraocular foreign body, trichiasis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, ocular trauma, etc. If it is caused by myopia or astigmatism, the eyelid should be corrected so that the symptoms can be relieved.

If the eyelid skipping caused by chronic conjunctivitis , you can use anti-inflammatory drugs to treat , such as norfloxacin or ofloxacin.

Rather than eye diseases, tumors and neurological diseases are the two main causes, among which neurological diseases are more common.

Nervous system disease is the problem of innervation,It occurs mostly in the elderly, especially those with cardiovascular disease. The blood vessels in the brainstem are hardened and twisted, pressing on the facial nerve , and then the nerve continues to excite, causing the eyelid muscles to keep contracting, and the eyelids keep jumping.

At the beginning, the symptoms were not very obvious and did not affect their lives. Many people didn't take it seriously. But later, the twitching of the eyelids worsened and gradually deteriorated to the inability to open the eyes, decreased vision, and even blindness.

So, don't be careless, eyelid twitching caused by this innervation problem can be treated.

What kind of eyelid twitching should be noted?

If there is only a slight, short-lived eyelid twitch, this will disappear by itself, and there is no need to see a doctor. But if the following situations occur, you must go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible.

What department do I need to look at when my eyelids jump?

When the eyelids are throbbing, you do not need to seek medical attention immediately. Take more rest and observe whether the symptoms are gradually reduced. If the throbbing continues for a week, you must go to the hospital.

If the physiological eyelid skipping cannot heal itself for a long time is excluded, you can choose the ophthalmology of a regular hospital for examination. Generally, if the diagnosis is caused by eye diseases, relevant treatment can be performed.

There are some other special cases. Although it is eyelid twitching, you have to go to other departments for diagnosis and treatment.
