Dry eye syndrome can cause lower eyelid spasms, and the symptoms of spasms can be relieved by applying warm compresses to the eyes. Pay attention to proper eye usage and avoid prolonged use of electronic devices to prevent eye fatigue. Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late. Eyelid spasms may also be caused by other underlying medical conditions. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and actively seek appropriate treatment.
