Why do eyelids jump?

Eyelid pulsation mainly refers to involuntary twitching of orbicularis oculi muscle, which is mainly caused by body discomfort, eye diseases and nervous system diseases. The details are as follows:

1, physical discomfort: fatigue, lack of rest and sleep, or excessive alcohol and tobacco, irregular menstruation, etc. , can cause eyelid jump. In addition, people with anemia may also have eyelid pulsation.

2. Eye diseases: If the eyes are complicated with diseases such as trichiasis, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, intraocular foreign bodies or eye infections, the above diseases can be applied to nerve endings, leading to eyelid jumping.

3, nervous system diseases: if the tumor compresses the nerves or peripheral nervous system diseases, it can also lead to eyelid jumping. Eyelid jump is more common in the twitching of eyelid muscle fibers, and the most common reason is eye fatigue, which is manifested as peristalsis of one side of the face or the muscle surface around the eyelid. Unsanitary eyes, watching mobile phones, watching computers or reading books for too long may be the main causes of eyelid jump, and attention to rest may be relieved. In addition, the rare cause may be multiple sclerosis, brain stem gliomatosis, cerebellopontine brain tumor, or Guillain-Barre syndrome may also occur in the recovery period.
