eye blinking

Hi my son is 6, 5 days I noticed his right eye was blinking and would his eye would roll
slightly.  I took him to the dr today they told me maybe allergies or maybe an irritation.
His eye is not itchy or bothering him.    She suggested taking him to eye dr, he seen the
eye dr on 12/16/09 after failing his eye test at school.  All tests were normal.

My dr advised I should watch it for a while and maybe he developed a tic.  Should he
be evaluated by a nuerologist?  I am worried about this since it does not seem to bother
him it makes me think it is a tic?  

I would appreciate any feedback

Dear debbier,

I would follow your instincts.  IF the eyeMD was unable to observe the issue, and you are still concerned seek care of an neurologist.

I also wanted to add since I have been watching his eye movements, when he blinks both eye balls seem to go to the right and then back to center is this normal?
