Blinking

My son has been complaining of air in his eyes and frequently blinks and then rubs them. Is this cause for concern

Depends on multiple factors including how old your son is. If he's a minor, take him to a pediatric ophthalmologist and if adult to a regular ophthalmologist for a full exam.
