Sir, my son had neurological shock in last December. He was undergone for reduction of intracarnial pressure through operation. He recovered almost fully by the end of march. But from last week or so, his eye blinking has started. It is not frequent but though markable. We talked to eye specialist and his neuro doctor, but they couldnt find any thing.
Kindly guide us if any thing serious u find. I can send vedio of him.

I have booked for eye test next week to see if anything to do with that
Hi, My daughter is also 7 and has started blinking a lot in the last week. She also has a cold and I didn't know if the two are related, but it also seems worse when tired. Has your daughter stopped the blinking yet? I'm not quite sure what to do, but as with your daughter, her vision does not appear to be a factor.

Hi,
Excessive blinking in children is common and usually harmless. It is usually a form of habit tic that increases with fatigue and reduces with distraction or concentration. The eye-blinking tic may last for a few months to a year and may subside by itself without any specific treatment. There could be other conditions or disorders causing excessive blinking. They are- Dry eyes, lens infection, absence seizures, Tardive dyskinesia, Tourette syndrome or brain tumour. Please consult an opthalmologist for the examination , investigations and management. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
