Question
What’s wrong with my baby’s blinking?
Answer
Frequent blinking in children is a common ophthalmic condition with complex causes, such as: 1. Abnormalities in the eye surface structures, including conjunctivitis, conjunctival stones, and superficial punctate keratitis; 2. Misdirection of eyelashes and meibomian gland cysts; 3. Abnormal tear film stability; 4. Attention disorders, which are one of the main manifestations of ADHD. This includes inattention, difficulty concentrating during class, and being easily distracted by the environment. They frequently shift their focus from one object to another and cannot concentrate fully on their homework.
