child's excessive blinking, TICS?
My 9 yr old daughter started blinking excessively about a month ago and it seems to be getting worse. We took her to an optometrist but nothing wrong with her eyes except a slight bad vision which requires glasses for her classroom. Can this be considered TICS and will it go away with time?

Re: child's excessive blinking, TICS?
Many kids will blink excessively when they need glasses. Has the blinking improved since she got glasses? Maybe she needs them at home too for distant vision.

No, glasses haven't helped yet.
