What could be causing my right eye to keep twitching?

Dr. Wang Shuai
Right eye twitching may have various causes: 1. Eye diseases: Inflammatory conditions such as conjunctivitis or keratitis can irritate the eye muscles, leading to eyelid twitching. 2. Eye strain: Prolonged use of electronic devices, reading, or working may cause eye fatigue, resulting in eyelid twitching. 3. Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, or lack of sleep may increase sympathetic nervous system activity, causing eyelid twitching. 4. Medications: Certain drugs, especially those that are stimulating or cause movement disorders, may also lead to eyelid twitching. 5. Neurological disorders: Neurological conditions such as facial nerve palsy may cause facial muscle spasms, including eyelid twitching.
