The Chinese and Vietnamese have another theory, based on the Tong Shu, or Chinese Almanac. This olden day belief system not only acknowledges that eye twitches may signify something, but they have further developed theories on what an eye twitch may indicate based on eye and time:
Left Eye Twitching During Specific Times:
11pm – 1am: A noblemen may be on his way to see you.
1am – 3am: Be aware that a worrying event may be about to occur.
3am – 5am: Expect a possible visit from a friend from afar.
5am – 7am: A special guest is on his or her way.
7am – 9am: You may expect a visit from a close friend.
9am – 11am: Get ready to party!
11am – 1pm: Lots of eating and drinking looms ahead.
1pm – 3pm: You’ll be safe and sound for whatever plans lie ahead of you.
3pm – 5pm: Watch out! You may lose money.
5pm – 7pm: Guests are on their way.
7pm -9pm: More guests are on their way.
9pm – 11pm: Another guest is on his or her way.
That doesn’t sound all that bad, right? There seems to be a lot of of partying, eating, visitors, and friends. Just avoid a 1 a.m. twitch and a 3 p.m. twitch, and this left eye twitch theory could be a good one to hope for.
If a man’s right eye twitches, or if a woman’s left eye does so, before undertaking a task, it indicates success. If a woman’s right eyes twitches, it indicates worries
What does a sneeze mean to you? Or an involuntary twitching of your eyebrow? To many, it may be a trivial, everyday occurrence but in the study of omens, it can carry many messages. When I was very young, I remember hearing of many omens and signs from those elderly people... like if your ear is itchy, someone is talking about you, etc? In all cultures, even dreams can be interpreted to mean something important!
I have been collecting many articles over the years on this subject, more out of interest than belief, and I will write a bit on them here. The signs can be auspicious or inauspicious, but for the sake of interest, I will only mention the auspicious ones here!
Twitching of the right side of the neck means happiness and prosperity
Twitching in the left shoulder indicates success
An itchy head indicates favourable luck
An itchy chin is prosperity
An itchy right palm indicates unexpected monetary gain
An itchy right foot indicates a successful overseas trip
My left eye has been twitching for the past couple of days. Even though it doesn’t usually affect me it was beginning to get rather irritating. So I decided to look into the reasons why this happens.
Funny enough I realized that many different cultures actually have superstitious beliefs about this occurrence which signifies either good or bad luck, depending on your gender and which eye is twitching.
For instance in India, if the left eye twitches for a woman, it is a sign of good luck.
While on the other hand it means quite the opposite in Nigeria, if the left eye twitches it is bad luck in general.
The Malays believed that a twitching right eye means there’s a chance of visiting someone you haven’t met in a long time. A twitch on the left eye means they will cry.
If you ask me this is all too confusing so I am going with the scientific explanation.
Some say it could be a cause of lack of potassium or caused by stress and insomnia.
According to Eye Health Wealth Web eye twitching can run in families, or it can be caused by the side effects of certain medications, such as those used to treat Parkinson’s disease.
Eye twitching, eyelid tics and spasms are pretty common. Usually only the bottom lid of one eye is involved, but the top eyelid also can twitch. Most eye twitches come and go, although they can last for weeks or even months.
I once received an e-mail from a patient’s wife, who told me her left lower eyelid had been twitching for several weeks, and it was driving her crazy. Could I help?
To find a solution for eye twitching, we needed to determine the underlying cause of this annoying problem. Called myokymia in doctor lingo, these rippling muscle contractions in an eyelid can be triggered by:
Stress
Tiredness
Eye strain
Caffeine
Alcohol
Dry eyes
Nutritional imbalances
Allergies
However, this kind of eye twitching also can be hard to treat. The only option for making the twitching stop may be to figure out the cause and deal with it.Almost all sudden-onset eyelid twitching is benign, meaning the condition is not serious or a sign of a medical problem.
More serious forms of eyelid twitching are caused by neurological conditions such asblepharospasm or hemifacial spasm. These conditions are much less common and should be diagnosed and treated by an eye doctor.
