What's the matter with your eyes

summary

When the facial nerve is compressed or stimulated by blood vessels, it is easy to cause the eyelid to keep beating. It is often said that "the left eye jumps to wealth, the right eye jumps to disaster". In fact, from the medical point of view, the eyelid has nothing to do with people's wealth and disaster, it is just a disease. What's the matter with the jump of eyes? Let me tell you about it.

What's the matter with your eyes

First: when the facial nerve that controls the eye muscles is stimulated or compressed, it will cause contraction, which will cause the eyelid (called eyelid in medicine) to beat.

Second: there are two kinds of muscles in the eyelid. One is called orbicularis oculi muscle, which is shaped like a wheel and surrounds the eye. When it contracts, the eyelid will close. This orbicularis oculi muscle is controlled by facial nerve. And another kind of eyelid muscle is called levator palpebrae superioris muscle. When it contracts, the eyelids will open. This muscle is controlled by oculomotor nerve.

Third: in these two kinds of muscle tissues of eyelid, orbicularis oculi muscle plays a very important role in protecting the eyeball. It can lubricate and clean the cornea through continuous closure, and make a protective response to any external stimulation.
