Toddler Blinking

by Shopperqueenbee, Jan 16, 2008 08:29PM
My two year old son has started blinking all the time.  We have just moved from Florida to California and live with our Grandma.  She needs the heat on all the time.  We are not use to that.  His blinking is worse at times but I have not figured out what triggers it.  We took a walk yesterday, thinking the fresh air would help but it did not.  He blinks while watching tv, while eating, while doing everything.  I have purchased Tears Natual and am trying that on him.  Does anyone have any advice?  I am about to seek a specialist to get his eyes checked.  Tonight he told me that one of his eyes had a "bobo".

Start out with a complete medical eye exam with a pediatric ophthalmologist. Find one at www.aao.org

It could be an eye problem or a tic/mannerism/neurologic issue.

My 2 yr old son has also began blinking all of the time. It just started, so we haven't had an exam done yet. Did you find out what was wrong with your son yet? Never heard of excessive blinking before.

Hi,
Did you ever figure out what was the problem with your son's eye blinking problem?  My 19-month old son is exhibiting similar behaviour.  Please advise.
