For the past few weeks I've noticed my ds has been squinting - squeezing his eyes closed for a few seconds and then opening them again. I don't know if this is what's known as 'squinting' but that's what we call it. Sometimes it's a fluttery kind of blink, sometimes a tight one. He'll do it a few times for a while then stop. He's just been doing it again now and it's got me and DH quite concerned that there's something wrong with his sight, or maybe that he's developing a nervous reaction of some kind. Also, we've taken a fair few photos of him in the past with flash and I've noticed him squeezing his eyes closed then (can't blame him there) so we're also thinking perhaps it's a result of using too much flash...?
Please has anyone any experience of this or suggestions of why he might be doing it? Is it just a developmental thing? I'm thinking of taking him to see the health visitor tomorrow cos I'm really quite concerned.
Thanks, worry worry worry.....
