How is the eyelid jumping all the time?

Jumping in the left eye is a fortune, and jumping in the right eye is a curse. This is a superstitious statement, which is not credible.

The scientific explanation is:

1. Benign muscle fiber twitching: it will happen when you are tired and nervous. It is a unilateral and temporary twitch of the muscles around the eyes.

2. Reflex blepharospasm: It is caused by local eye lesions, such as keratitis and iritis.

3. Hemifacial spasm: In addition to unilateral eyelid pulsation, it is accompanied by paroxysmal irregular convulsions of ipsilateral muscles, mostly caused by blood vessels compressing the facial nerve.

4. Meier syndrome: In addition to the bilateral eyelid pulsation, it is accompanied by the twitching of the lower muscles and even the neck muscles.

5. Idiopathic blepharospasm: characterized by intermittent or persistent involuntary closure of double eyelids, without ocular diseases.

6. Hysterical blepharospasm: The symptoms are similar to idiopathic blepharospasm, but the treatment is effective.

The first situation above generally does not require treatment, as long as you rest and relax; However, reflex blepharospasm can be improved after treatment of local eye diseases. For idiopathic blepharospasm and Meige syndrome, local injection of botulinum toxin is effective and safe, which is the first choice in the world at present. In addition, it can also relieve the symptoms of hemifacial spasm. But if there is definite vascular nerve compression, microvascular decompression is an effective treatment.
