3 Year Old excessive eye blinking

Please help...

Over a week ago now, out of no where my 3 year old daughter started this excessive eye blinking.  It has been getting worse (or she's doing it more often).  It seems like she does it more when she's watching tv, or playing computer games.  She will do it inside or outside.  I don't know what to think about it.  It seemed like over the weekend she had a little nose shrug with it as well.. but it seems more eye related than anything.  She hasn't eaten anything new, nor have we been or done anything different.  Her verbal skills are wonderful, and she is a healthy little girl.  Watching her do this over and over again lastnight while playing on the compter brought me to tears for over an hour.  I am beyond worried.. I've asked her if she can see, if it's blurry, etc.. and she answers yes.. but I am not even sure that she knows what blurry is.  I've scheduled an eye exam, but can't get in for another month..

Has anyone else gone through this?

Try to relax about it, dont get upset especially in front of her its feeding into the Drama, you have done the right thing to schedule an appt with a Doc for an exam. Meantime dont concentrate on it and give her plenty to do so shes not thinking or dwelling on it also.Hey Try reading books not doing Videos see if that helps.
