Question
My right eyelid twitches every day, and this has been going on for nearly a year. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
For the persistent twitching of the right eyelid, occasional eyelid twitches can usually be relieved through rest, maintaining emotional stability, and appropriate massage. However, if the eyelid twitching is frequent, it is recommended to consult a neurologist for a diagnosis and may require medication such as neurosedatives or surgical treatment. Additionally, an EEG should be conducted to rule out the possibility of regional stimulating lesions in the brain. If the eyelid twitching is caused by chronic conjunctivitis, anti-inflammatory medications such as norfloxacin or ofloxacin can be used for treatment; if it is caused by refractive errors, vision correction is needed to alleviate symptoms.
