Twitching of the right lower eyelid may be caused by compression of nearby veins or arteries, leading to poor blood flow. It could also result from cysts or tumors in the facial area that cause blood vessel displacement and subsequent pressure on the facial nerve plexus. Additionally, excessive fatigue, frequent lack of sleep, and prolonged mental stress commonly trigger twitching of the right eye. It is recommended to use your eyes reasonably and avoid eye strain. Appropriate eye massage may help promote local blood circulation.
