Question
Why does a child often tilt their head to watch TV? Is it a bad habit or an eye disorder?
Answer
When a child frequently tilts their head while watching TV, it may be a sign of an eye issue. This is usually caused by one of the following five reasons:
- The child may have myopia, amblyopia, or astigmatism.
- Strabismus caused by eye muscle palsy.
- Idiopathic nystagmus.
- Congenital muscle or skeletal torticollis.
