What's the reason for the eye jump

First: eyelid, called "eyelid" in medicine. 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 closes; the other is called "levator palpebrae superioris muscle", which opens the eyelid when it contracts.

Second: these two muscles are constantly contracting and relaxing, so that the eyes can open and close. Once the nerves that control these two muscles are stimulated by some factors, the nerve impulses will excite these two muscles, and there will be repeated contractions, even spasms or tremors, so you will feel the eyelids beating involuntarily, which is eyelid jumping

Third: eyelid jump is generally divided into physiological and pathological two kinds. Physiological eyelid jump, many people have experienced, its attack is transient, attack time is very short, often just a few seconds, beating degree is not serious. This kind of eyelid jump generally does not need special treatment, if necessary, only need to close the eyes for a rest, local massage, or hot compress will disappear.
