Eye vision for my child
My child is blinking his eyes quite frequently from last few days while watching tv... sometimes also while sitting idle.
I am worried as i don't want to take him out to any clinic amid covid 19 situation.
Please suggest some eye drops suitable for a 6 years old male boy and any other ways to give his eyes some relief.
Thanks and regards

If you observe him rubbing his eyes frequently, it's because of allergy which can lead to excessive blinking.
If there's no itching, probably it's because of dry eyes.
Next Steps
Lubricants can be started.
Health Tips
Keep a track as to whether he itches or rubs his eyes as treatment shall be different then.
