Medically twitches are referred to as myokymia and can be caused by:
Stress
Alcohol
Allergies
Too much Caffeine intake
Tiredness
Eye Strain
Lack of Vitamin B 12
Lack of Vitamin D
Cornea inflammation
Lack of adequate sleep
All of these factors do not seem to have any back links to any good or bad luck myths. But culturally the twitching of the left eye can either mean good fortune or bad luck. The lower twitching of the left eye in Cameroon means that you might soon shed tears while Nigerians believe that bad luck is coming your way.
The Chinese believe that the twitching of the left eye means that you will receive good news, good luck is on your side for men. However for women it’s the opposite it means bad luck. The Chinese also value the time at which your eye twitches. Time can also determine the meaning of the twitch. While Indians believe the opposite of what the Chinese’s believe in.
