What is the omen of right eye jump (what's wrong with jumping all the time)

Netizen's question: Recently, the right eyelid has been jumping. A friend said, "jumping with the left eye is a fortune, jumping with the right eye is a curse." Eyelid jump is related to fortune. Let me pay more attention, don't be a catastrophe.

I just want to know, what is the eyelid jump, and is it really related to fortune?

In fact, eyelid jump is the "trouble" of orbicularis oculi muscle, which is not directly related to people's fortune.

Around our eyes, there is a circle of muscles called orbicularis oculi muscle. The orbicularis oculi muscle has two main functions, one is to close your eyes, and the other is to make our expressions more vivid.

The orbicularis oculi muscle is controlled by facial nerve. When we use our eyes too much, have a bad rest, smoke and drink, and have too much pressure, facial nerves may get out of control, leading to eyelid jumping.

The eyelid jump caused by these reasons will be recovered through adequate sleep and eye rest.

But some diseases are also the chief culprit of eyelid jump, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, neuromuscular diseases and so on.

Therefore, if eyelid jump is accompanied by redness, pain, photophobia, tears and other symptoms, or eyelid jump persists, it is best to seek medical advice in time.

So, let's talk about how to prevent eyelid jump.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology believes that physiological eyelid jump is related to fatigue and stress, and drinking coffee will increase the chance of eyelid jump.

Therefore, if you want to prevent eyelid jumping, you may wish to develop a good habit of using your eyes first. Don't stare at electronic screens such as computers and mobile phones for a long time. You should have a proper rest and avoid using your eyes too much.

Secondly, we can appropriately reduce the intake of caffeine products, develop good sleep habits, rest in time and avoid excessive fatigue.
