My toddler blinks TOO much!!?

Question

Hi for the past couple of days I have been noticing that my 2 1/2yr old daughter blinks normal than usual, almost like as if her eyes where dry or bothering her. I ask her if her eyes hurt...and she says no. She mostly does it when she is looking at books or the tv. Has this ever happened to anyone else;s baby they ended up needing glasses?? Is this a sign that she can't see well??

I meant to say she blinks more than usual.

Answer 1

yea, one of my cousins had a similar problem. he kept blinking too much, but i guess it was because he always played on the computer, PS2, or his Nintendo DS. he now wears glasses. i heard that the doctor said that he was just straining his eyes too much. now he doesn't blink that much. i don't think that blinking too much is a sign that your daughter can't see well, but that she is just straining them too much. does she constantly watch tv?

you could have your daughter take a break from watching tv for a couple of days and see if it'll help. if the blinking continues, you should try going to the doctor and see what they suggest.

Answer 2

My son did this as well. We just ignored it and he stopped. But you may want to get her eyes checked. I think its just a toddler thing though.

Answer 3

Children experiment all the time, especially at her age.
