Hello, the persistent twitching of your right lower eyelid is clinically referred to as blepharospasm. Common causes include recent poor sleep quality and high levels of mental stress. In most patients, improving sleep quality and employing stress-relief techniques can effectively alleviate the symptoms. If symptoms persist despite these measures, we recommend seeking prompt medical evaluation at a hospital. We hope this information is helpful to you, and wish you a happy and healthy life.
