Eye problems with 5yr old dd

[klover]

Hi,

Can someone offer some advice.
My dd is 5years old and has a very odd problem with one of her eyes. She raises her eyebrows and widens one particular eye, blinks lots and sometimes holds this one eye closed. When I ask her about it she says her eye feels strange, like its aching. Its all a bit confusing! She has no squint or lazy eye, but this is a constant problem which usually gets worse towards the end of the day. She has had an eye test and they confirmed her vision is fine. But I am concerned.

Thank you.

Can she control it? Ie if she's got her eye closed can she choose to open it? Or if you catch her at the beginning can she stop part way through.

If she can control it then I'd guess it's just a habit. I know that when I'm tired I sometimes choose to read with one eye shut. Don't know why it helps, but it does.

If you go to the GP then try and take a video of it with you.
