Some people will twitch even their eyebrows, forehead, corners of mouth and even half of their face. In particular, 99% of the eyelid pulsation caused by facial muscle spasm is caused by the compression and stimulation of the facial nerve dominating the movement of eyelid muscles by intracranial abnormal blood vessels, and 1% is caused by the stimulation of the facial nerve by intracranial tumors and arachnoid adhesion. Therefore, it is also regarded as a symptom of intracerebral diseases.

Ultraviolet radiation is the main cause of eye fatigue. Therefore, when outdoor activities, no matter how old you are, you should wear sunglasses to prevent ultraviolet radiation to protect your eyes. Ultraviolet rays can penetrate ordinary glass. Therefore, when outdoors, avoid strong sunlight and wear sunglasses.

When reading, the electric lamp should illuminate the whole room and books, choose a non flashing desk lamp, keep your back straight, and keep the distance between your eyes and the book at about 30 cm; When watching TV, keep about 2 meters away from the TV and look down slightly.
