Twitching of eyes is considered a significant omen in the Indian culture. It is believed that twitching of left and right eyes have different meanings. For women, a twitching left eye would bring good fortune while it is not considered auspicious if the right eye twitches.
According to Hindu belief, if your left eye twitches, it is considered good luck for women, but if your right eye twitches, it is considered bad luck.

The Indian Vedic Astrology considers right eye flickering in men auspicious. It brings about fortune and good luck to them. The case is opposite in females. Twitching of the right is considered as an indication of bad luck and misfortune.

A common cause of eyelid twitching is ocular myokymia. This is benign and does not lead to other problems. Ocular myokymia can be caused by being tired, having too much caffeine, or stress. One cause of persistent, frequent eye twitching is a condition called benign essential blepharospasm.
Superstitions tell us that the left eye twitching means something bad is going to happen in our lives, while the right eye twitching means something good is about to happen.

The most common causes of eye twitches are stress and fatigue. Make sure you get enough exercise, at least seven to eight hours of sleep and stay hydrated. Once you relax, most cases of eyelid spasms pass — though if you're super stressed this might take up to a few weeks.
