eye twitching

[amarmai]

my 5 yr old grandson has developed eye twitching which has led to him squeezing his eyes shut . The eye doctor says nothing is wrong. any ideas/advice?

Oh I don't know. My eyes twitch when I'm very tired. Sorry, not sure that's helpful

yes i did consider that,Bit, but he gets a good sleep every night. I wonder if looking at the little electronic screens can affect the eyes?

Common causes do include eye strain from over use of screens/tablets. My eye has stared twitching recently. I am going to get my eyes tested but if I'm honest, I spend far too much time looking at my tablet.

thanks for the link, Ebb. I am considering allergies and nutritional imbalance.Both times i went onto the link my screen went blank. Weird!

Hi amarmai, has your grandson had his eyes tested by an optician? I work for the charity Blind Children UK and we've recently been highlighting that it is so important that children have an eye test within the first year of school.

We have a free guide to childhood sight care FREE guide to childhood sight care you can find it here bit.ly/1LycicP and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask

I appreciate you responding ,bcukPaul,and yes my dd took him to an optician as well as the gp . She was told everything is ok. However when i sit next to him and watch virtually non stop squeezing his eyes shut i am still concerned. At first it was a twitch now it is squeezing the eyes closed.Thank you for the link for the free guide. I will forward it to my dd.
