Poor sleep with twitching eyelids

In general, eye twitching associated with poor sleep may be caused by factors such as visual fatigue, malnutrition, or dry eye syndrome. Patients can receive targeted treatment based on the specific cause. The details are as follows:

1. Visual Fatigue

Prolonged eye use, extended driving, or long periods of watching television can all lead to eye strain, resulting in eye twitching. It is recommended that patients use medications such as sodium hyaluronate eye drops or polyvinyl alcohol eye drops under a doctor's guidance, and avoid excessive eye strain.

2. Malnutrition

Deficiencies in nutrients such as vitamin B, calcium, and magnesium may also trigger eye twitching. Patients are advised to take medications like Bacillus subtilis live bacterial granules or Clostridium butyricum powder under medical supervision, while also adjusting their diet.

3. Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome is a common eye condition in which the eyes fail to produce enough tears or tears evaporate too quickly, leading to insufficient lubrication and protection of the eye surface. Patients with dry eye syndrome may experience symptoms such as eye twitching and blurred vision. It is recommended that patients use medications such as sodium hyaluronate eye drops or neostigmine methylsulfate injection under a doctor’s guidance, and ensure adequate rest.

Besides the above three causes, eye twitching could also result from other conditions such as drug side effects, conjunctivitis, or keratitis. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.
