Prolonged spasms of the eyelid can be a sign of serious illness if they are accompanied by other unfavorable symptoms. According to Express Health, experts at the Cleveland Clinic stated that in some cases, eye twitching is an alarming symptom that requires a visit to a general practitioner.
As a rule, eye twitching signals that the body is overstressed – it needs to relax, unwind, relieve stress. But sometimes eyelid myokymia indicates something serious, and this can be understood by some subtle signs, experts say. So, they named several “red flags”, noticeable when twitching the eyes and requiring a doctor’s check.
These are: twitching of the eyelid, lasting several days or longer; twitching that occurs in other parts of the body; feeling weak, drooping eyelids, or double vision; redness of the whites of the eyes, swollen eyelids; dizziness.
Speaking about the serious causes that cause ocular tics, experts named corneal trauma, autoimmune diseases, movement disorders, and tumors.
“A tumor in the brain can cause problems with the organs of vision if the temporal lobe, the brain stem or the occipital lobe are affected. In addition to eye twitching, it can also be indicated by changes in vision. If such changes appear suddenly, this should be discussed with the doctor as soon as possible, ”the experts emphasized.
