What does it mean when your eyes start to twitch at different hours?

Updated: Aug 24

We have all gotten a case of eye-twitching at least once in our lives, if not more often. Eye-twitching is annoying and intrusive, especially when it comes around when you're in the midst of a meaningful conversation.



The Chinese have a different theory, based on the Tong Shu 通书, or Chinese Almanac. This olden day belief system not only acknowledges that eye twitches 眼跳法 may signify something, but they have further developed theories on what an eye twitch may indicate based on Eye and time.
