What Causes Rapid Eye Blinking?
Hello my nine year old is blinking (closing eyes for 2 to 3 seconds) when he seems to be overstimulated (playing sports) I noticed that a few times now while playing wii he is doing it also. My pediatrician says it is a nervous tick. When should I be concerned. Out on the bball court he does it several times. thank you
