CAUSES OF FREQUENT WINKING IN CHILDREN
If your child has started to blink often, you should care about this problem, op. Dr. “Because the cause may be an eye disorder or psychological,” she said.
Opening and closing the eyelids is called winking. Winking has two important purposes. First, during cropping, the eyeball is moistened with tears, thus preventing the drying of the eye. Second, it protects the eye from foreign bodies and irritants that may come. Adults blink an average of 10-12 times per minute, and children blink 2-3 times.
Physiologically, when looking carefully at a place (reading books, watching computer-TV, etc. in cases) our number of clipping decreases. That’s why the eyes get more tired and dry in the readings. ‘An increase in the number of blinks occurs in some pathological cases,’ said Op. Dr. explained the reasons for this problem as follows:
Common causes of winking that we encounter in children can be caused by eye problems such as infection in the eyes, allergies, dry eyes, foreign body escape, vision defects, as well as psychological reasons such as imitation, newborn sibling, school, friend, family problems. It may also have neurological causes, such as Tourette’s syndrome or epilepsy. In Turkish children, frequent blinking in one eye may be due to redness, stinging and the desire to rub in the eye due to an intraocular foreign body. In biomicropscopic examination, a foreign body is detected and removed under local or general anesthesia and drug therapy is applied in Turkey.

WHAT TO DO IF IT LASTS LONG?
Eye tics, unlike frequent blinking, are involuntary closing and opening movements on the eyelids at certain December intervals. It is mostly found in primary school age children. In general, the cause is psychological and rarely neurological. For this reason, if there is no eye-borne wink, the family should not focus too much on it, it will pass after the necessary treatment, even if it does not pass, it is necessary not to multi-language the subject next to the child. If the cuts cover a long period of time, such as months, they should be warned to get the necessary child psychiatry and neurology consultation.

PANDEMIC SPREAD
Infections that we call conjunctivitis, which are common in children, can cause Burr, redness, sometimes swelling and itching in the valves, as well as recurrent clipping in the eye. This problem is treated with the necessary antibiotic drops. Increased computer use in school-age children, especially with the pandemic, also caused dry eyes and often caused fidgeting. This problem can also be successfully treated with artificial tear drops. In addition, hidden hypermetropic eye defects in children can also lead to frequent blinking in the child to focus. Glasses are arranged after the drip examination in Antalya Turkey.
