They are annoying and uncomfortable, but luckily a priori they are not serious. The nervous tics in the eye are small movements or vibrations that occur in the eyelid in a repetitive and involuntary way and with a sporadic frequency. You know what we’re talking about, right? From that moment when you are talking to your co-worker and you notice that your eye makes small movements, as if it were going to come out; or, on the contrary, you notice that the eye of the person in front of you moves repeatedly.
Nervous tics: why they occur and how to prevent them
There is no specific cause of what causes these nervous tics in the eye, although it is known that it is related to the following factors:
- Moments of tiredness How many hours do you sleep a day? How is that dream? It would be good to review these points to find out if that nervous tic that bothers you so much could be caused by a bad rest.
- High stress situations. If you think that this may be the reason, you should try to lead a calmer life, at least until this discomfort passes.
- Eye strain It is produced by spending many hours working in front of the computer, by being exposed to mobile screens for a long time, by refusing to wear glasses or by poor vision graduation.
- Consumption of exciting substances. Coffee and tea are carriers of thane. Perhaps you have been abusing these drinks for a few days (also tobacco) and that may be causing tremors in your eyelid.
- Lack of ocular hydration. You may not have known, but many of the nervous tics in the eye are the result of poor eye hydration. Use natural lubricants and you will begin to notice improvement.
- Bad nutrition. We will not get tired of telling you: a bad diet can be the origin of a lot of health problems for your body. Take care of your diet and you will be healthier. Your body will thank you!
Nervous tic in the right eye or in the left eye
As we said at the beginning, nervous tics in the eye are usually quite frequent and are not serious beyond the aesthetic discomfort that they can cause us. There is no different diagnosis if they occur in the right eye or on the left side. In both cases, it resolves spontaneously (it can last a day, several or even a couple of weeks), but if it persists over time or is accompanied by other symptoms such as sensitivity or blurred vision, we recommend you go to your trusted ophthalmologist to perform an examination and determine a diagnosis.
