When your right eye twitches, it generally means your eyelid muscles are having involuntary spasms, often due to common, benign causes such as stress, fatigue, eye strain, caffeine intake, or dry eyes

. These twitches are usually harmless and temporary, resolving on their own once the underlying trigger is addressed, such as getting more sleep, reducing caffeine, or managing stress

. Medically, persistent or severe twitching could indicate more serious conditions like hemifacial spasm, neurological disorders (e.g., Bell’s palsy, dystonia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease), or side effects of certain medications, but these are rare and usually accompanied by other symptoms

. Culturally and spiritually, right eye twitching is often interpreted symbolically. Some traditions see it as a sign of good luck or impending events, while others associate it with emotional or spiritual transformation, heightened intuition, or unresolved anxiety and trauma

. For example, the right eye is sometimes linked to creativity and emotional insight, and twitching may be viewed as a signal of a personal or spiritual awakening

. In summary:

• Common causes: stress, fatigue, caffeine, eye strain, dry eyes

• When to see a doctor: if twitching is persistent, severe, or accompanied by other symptoms

• Cultural/spiritual meanings: good luck, change, emotional or spiritual awakening, or anxiety surfacing

If your right eye twitching is frequent or bothersome, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable to rule out underlying issues and get appropriate treatment
