Why am I experiencing eyelid spasms at 16?

Hello, I'm 16 years old. Since yesterday at 12 PM Spanish time, I've been experiencing small spasms in my lower left eyelid. They feel like muscle contractions, usually sudden and occurring every 20 seconds, with about 10 to 15 contractions per spasm. I don't think there's any underlying issue as I don't have sleep problems, stress, haven't consumed caffeine or alcohol, and I don't feel tired. I would greatly appreciate the help; it's not painful but very annoying.

These spasms might happen because of stress, tiredness, or too much time spent staring at screens. Ensure that you rest your eyes, get enough sleep, and try massaging gently to relieve tension from the muscles around them. If they persist or get worse then it would be wise to talk with an eye specialist for more advice.

I am a 17 years old female who has had a lazy left eye for the past year and 9 months which I believe is called strambius

Female | 17

You might have a lazy left eye, which is also called strabismus. This is caused by the fact that the eye muscles do not function as they should. Sometimes, they can also lead to symptoms such as double vision or your eyes not looking in the same direction. Don't worry, there are treatments available, like special glasses, eye exercises, or even surgery, to help improve your condition.

One year after giving birth, Nidhi’s periods resumed, and she started experiencing frequent swelling in the upper and occasionally the lower portion of her right eye.

Female | 29

Nidhi’s eye swelling incident might be due to sinusitis, which is caused by acute inflammation of the sinuses. This occurs when the sinus passages are blocked or infected. The swelling is happening due to the presence of the fluid. You can put a warm towel on your eye and also drink plenty of water to help reduce the swelling.

i am 23 year old and my eye turned red yesterday and it is itching too

Male | 23

Pink eye­, also known as conjunctivitis, may be causing your eye issue­. Redness and itchiness are­ symptoms of this condition. A viral or bacterial infection likely trigge­rs it. Applying cool compresses to your eye­ can provide relief. Avoid touching or rubbing the­ affected area. Ove­r-the-counter eye­ drops may also help alleviate discomfort. Fre­quent handwashing is crucial to prevent spre­ading the infection to others.

I’m wondering if eyeglasses are needed while my right eye is 20/30 and my left eye is 20/25, but both are 20/20 and my right eye suffers from recurrent corneal erosion.

Male | 27

Both your eyes are mostly fine. A corneal erosion can be dangerous and cause pain and sensitivity to light. Even if you have perfect eyesight, you may need to wear special glasses that will protect your eye from an even greater injury. These glasses can be used to stop more erosions from happening.

I 28 years old. I have under gone Lasik eye surgery in Narayana Netralaya in 2019. But one of the eye didn't improve any eye sight...I went to them but they said the Par has removed and the number of both the eyes is zero.. but one eye I can't read and get blurred vision... Is there any way or is it necessary to undergo another surgery....please help me out in this issue

Male | 28

This is alarming because even in one of your eyes you still face an issue with clarity of vision after Lasik surgery. It is recommended that one consult an eye consultant doctor who conducts a full eye inspection. They take note of unique factors that cause blurred vision; these may be refractive errors or an underlying condition. This depends on what is found in the latter part of these surgical procedures so it may entail additional surgery if the findings are unfavorable, but proper professional assessment by an eye specialist would be better.
