Is It Normal For Eye Conditions To Often Circulate? This Is The Doctor's Explanation

JAKARTA - Have your eyes suddenly circumvented for no apparent reason? This condition often makes people feel uncomfortable and even anxious, especially if it lasts continuously. In the medical world, pain in the eyes is known as myokymia, which is the repeated movement of the operating muscles that are usually harmless, but can interfere with daily activities.

Then, what actually causes the eyes to grumble frequently? According to Dr. Dyah Tjintya Sarika, MD, Orbital, Occuloplastic and Reconstructive Service at JEC Eye Hospitals and Clinics, there are many factors that can trigger pain in the eyes.

"So there are many risk factors. Usually because of fatigue, work is too hard, eyes are tired, then there is certain pressure, plus excessive caffeine consumption. That can cause pain in the eyes," said Dr. Dyah, when met in the Kedoya area, West Jakarta on Thursday, August 21, 2025.

The fatigue of the eyes due to staring at the computer screen for too long, lack of sleep, to stress is also often a trigger. That's why office workers, especially those who are often chased by deadlines, are quite vulnerable to this problem.

"There are also blefarospasme, if blefarospasme is an eye muscle that moves more intensely. So it's different from the usual eddies. I have a lot of patients, especially those who work in a bank or work with high pressure, often experience this," explained Dr. Dyah.

Kedutusanya bisa hilang dengan sendirinya. Namun jika sering terjadi, agarnya kita mulai memperhatikan penyebabnya.

"Be aware of the risk factors first. Rest your eyes on things that trigger pain. After that, we usually give neural supplements. If you have severe blefarospasme, one of the therapies can be done with Botox injection," said Dr. Dyah.

However, not all cases are immediately given botox therapy. According to Dr. Indra Maharddhika Pambudy, SpM, a specialist in orbital subspecialist, oculplastic, and reconstruction at JEC Eye Hospitals and Clinics, treatment steps are still adjusted to the patient's condition.

"Blefarospasme must first be seen in its condition. The first thing that is justified is the petals, not the Botox directly. We first fix the supporting network and the surface of the ball. Try to relax first when the eye is shaking," said Dr. Indra.

If the blefarospasme is too heavy, the problem can further disrupt daily life.

"Not a few cases where the patient's eyes become difficult to move because of severe blefarospasme. Like it or not, we need to take this condition seriously, especially if it interferes with activities and closes our eyes." said Dr. Indra
