We may feel frightened or shocked if we experience an involuntary twitching in the eye. Some believe that it is an indication of a serious neurological disease, but in fact, there may be simple reasons behind it.
Neurologists attribute eye twitching to a small spasm in the nerve of the eye muscles responsible for closing them. Because the eyelids are very sensitive, various stimuli can irritate this nerve.
However, there are 8 reasons that may lead to eye twitching that you should pay attention to:
coffee
Excessive drinking of coffee may lead to eye twitching. The caffeine in coffee stimulates the metabolism and raises the heart rate, which results in trembling in the eyes. Doctors believe that in some cases, the eyelid muscle is more sensitive than the rest of the body’s muscles.
stress
One of the main factors that cause muscle spasms in general. Eye trembling may become a small alert that the body has exhausted its forces. In case of stress, it is advised to do exercises to relax the muscles, such as practicing yoga, and to reduce the required daily effort.
Allergy
When allergic, the body produces a lot of histamine, which leads to bouts of sneezing, redness of the skin, itching, and others. Eye twitching is a classic allergy symptom.
Lack of sleep
Lack of sleep causes eye muscle disorders, and in this case there is nothing more appropriate than going to bed early.
Glasses needed or changed
If you feel eye twitching while in front of a computer screen or while reading a book, this means that you should wear glasses to help you read. If you originally had glasses, this may be a sign that the level of vision is no longer suitable for you, and you have to go for a new examination.
Magnesium deficiency
Magnesium deficiency leads to muscle spasms. That is why it is recommended to eat foods rich in this substance, such as fiber, cereals, legumes and dry fruits.
dry eyes
Long hours in front of a computer screen or in front of the TV can cause tension in the eyelid muscle. Here it is necessary to take breaks and face dryness with moisturizing eye drops with hyaluronic acid. By the way, nicotine and high alcohol consumption also lead to increased dry eyes.
COVID-19
Numerous studies have proven that COVID-19, caused by the emerging coronavirus, causes eye trembling. It may happen that recovering people notice this development, but – fortunately – these symptoms quickly disappear.
