Eye twitching 15 month old

My 15 month old has started to twitch his eyes/cheeks whilst watching tv, doesn't happen all the time but have noticed a few times a day. Have been to GP and told to keep a diary for a month. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks :)

How long is he watching for at any one time?

Its really random, as could be after 5 mins of watching or 20 mins. He doesnt sit sedentry watching the tv solid, cebeebies is normally on in the background, whilst he is pottering around playing :)Yesterday evening he didnt watch the tv and when he was really tired he done it then, so Im wondering if its something to do when tiredness also.........

Sounds more like a "tic", just a habit that he has gotten into. Just observe and see if he stops it without you mentioning it.

Yes i think it was a tic, it came and went within a week which is brilliant! I haven't noticed it since. He had an eye test and his eyes/eyesight are perfect. Thank you for your comments :)
