Patient's question:
My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The thing is, I don't really know what's going on, but she just seems a bit off, and I was wondering why she keeps blinking her eyes.Doctor's answer:
Children frequently blinking is a common ophthalmic condition with complex etiology. The common causes are as follows:1. Abnormalities of the ocular surface
Abnormalities of the structures on the ocular surface are the main reasons for increased blinking in children, such as: conjunctivitis, conjunctival (concretions), superficial punctate keratitis; ectropion, meibomian gland cysts; abnormal tear film stability. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the main manifestations, characterized by inattention, difficulty concentrating in class, susceptibility to environmental distractions, and frequent shifting of attention. Children cannot focus fully when doing homework.
