Persistent twitching of the right upper eyelid is often caused by involuntary spasms of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Prolonged use of smartphones, televisions, or computers—leading to eye strain—can trigger such twitching. There are numerous potential causes of right eyelid twitching; if it results from eye strain, gentle massage may help alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, ensure adequate sleep each night.
