Hello, eyelid twitching is caused by eyelid spasms and is closely associated with fatigue, colds, anxiety, stress, staying up late, and poor sleep quality. To treat eyelid twitching and restore normal function, it is essential to maintain a regular daily routine, ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, and minimize anxiety and stress. Oral neurotrophic medications—such as mecobalamin—may also be taken to support recovery. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
