2. Dry eye disease: dry eye disease refers to the lack of sufficient tear lubrication on the surface of the eye, and the eyes will feel dry and painful. In order to alleviate discomfort, children will blink frequently.
3. Anxiety: When children face academic pressure or social difficulties, they are prone to anxiety. Frequent blinking may be a manifestation of depression.
4. tic disorder: some children may suffer from tic disorder, such as eyelid twitch, head twisting, etc. These diseases will lead to a significant increase in blink frequency.
