Excessive blinking toddler.

My three year old, as of 3 days ago has been blinking more than usual. Has anyone else’s child done this? She got her eyes check at her 3 year check up a month or two ago and she passed. It is all of a sudden. Allergies maybe? Her eyes are not red or seem to be bothered.

What should I do? What kind of otc eye drops should I try?

Ophthalmology tech here..Any eye drops you use make sure they are preservative free

Thank you!

Do you know why she would be randomly blinking? It just started maybe 3 days ago.

She’s on track with everything.

Just got her evaluated and she’s 3 meeting marks of a 4-5 year old.

No sings of autism it’s giving me anxiety. It’s not a hard blink and it’s not a constant thing but she does blink more than what she did a few days ago.

Her brothers had pink eye a week or so ago but she doesn’t have discharge or anything on her eye that would indicate she has it

My daughter did that a few months ago! We think she picked it up from my mom who blinks a lot when her contacts bother her. We didn’t draw attention to it, and it went away after a while. Just seemed to be a tic (like teeth grinding, etc)
