Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter blinks her eyes frequently and she is on treatment for myoclonic epilepsy.
Blinking of eyes is usually because of irritation of eyes as in allergic conjunctivitis or refractive error.
Blinking of eyes can be treated by treatment of the cause for blinking.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
