Introduction
In general, whether eyelid spasms can resolve spontaneously depends on the specific underlying cause. If the eyelid spasm is caused by fatigue, stress, lack of sleep, or dry eyes, it can usually resolve on its own through rest, ensuring adequate sleep, reducing stress, and using artificial tears to relieve eye dryness.
In general, whether eyelid spasms can resolve spontaneously depends on the specific underlying cause. Physiological spasms usually resolve on their own, whereas pathological spasms may not be self-limiting. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and receive symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance. Specific analysis is as follows:
If eyelid spasms are caused by factors such as fatigue, stress, lack of sleep, or dry eyes, they often resolve spontaneously through rest, ensuring adequate sleep, reducing stress, and using artificial tears to relieve eye dryness.
However, if the spasms are due to medical conditions—such as ocular inflammations including blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction, or neurological disorders like brainstem lesions or Parkinson’s disease—the spasms are typically unlikely to resolve without treatment. In such cases, it is recommended to follow a specialist's advice and use medications such as mecobalamin tablets, diazepam tablets, or lorazepam tablets.
In daily life, it is advisable to maintain good eye habits, ensure sufficient rest, and avoid excessive fatigue.
