Hello, In traditional thinking, many people believe that eyelid twitching is linked to fortune or misfortune. However, this belief is entirely incorrect. From a medical perspective, eyelid twitching is actually an early warning sign of potential eye health issues. Persistent twitching of the right eye may result from compression of the ocular nerves or excessive stress and tension—making it especially important to maintain a positive and relaxed mental state. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
