Son's left eye is blinking
My 3.6 years old son's left eye is blinking for the last one week. Initially, I thought it would be temporary and will be fine with in 2-3 days. But his eye is blinking so fast and I didn't consult to doctor till now. I'm worried and what should I do? I should consult Ophthalmology or neurology.
One possibility is myokymia, twitching of lid muscles due to strain. My experience is parents give gadgets like iPad, note book, cell phones. Children get addictive and experience such symptoms.
Next Steps
check refraction by home computer test if cooperative. or of course, visit local ophthalmologists.
