what does it mean when your right eye twitches?

Question

No its not caffene or anything...I've just been tired and stressed and keeping my anger and sadness all to myself. I don't know if theres a psychological reason behind this...but it's been going on for a few weeks and even though they are muscle spasms...I want to know what causes it. Serious answers please.

Answer 1

The phenomenon you are describing is called myokymia. As you have stated, it can occur with stress, lack of sleep, allergies, and caffeine intake. The mechanism for this involuntary smooth muscle contraction is poorly understood but in your case appears to be related to your stress levels. Try to take it easy and find someone to talk with. Good luck.

Answer 2

It's a strain on your eye and there's a lot of muscles in your eye.I have had this before I was under a lot Of Stress and hard work at the Job.I saw a person walk into business and I couldn't see their mouth or nose just their eyes.Very Weird but it did happen because of -Stress.It's like when you get a cramp in your leg or foot and it starts freaking out.Usually you are tired.Let the anger and sadness go...It will destory you.

Answer 3

I've heard that they are small spasms that can be cause by lack of sleep or lots of stress, so it's very normal for you to be having these right now. I get them in my shoulders, lip, and leg, as well as my eye! The American Academy of Neurology says this condition, when in the eyelid, is called 'blepharospasm' and can also be triggered by smoke or bright lights. For more serious conditions that can actually cause blindness, BOTOX can eliminate this problem, it deadens the nerves that cause the twitching. If the eyeball itself twitches, this is called 'nystagmus' which is loss of motor control in the eye.

Answer 4

Maybe it's Lazy eye.
