Eye tics ...blinking?

Question

my cousin keeps blinking really tightly .. Its a tic i think

But hes only just got it .... hes 11 i think, i just wondered whether you could get it from being on the p.c or ps2 too long ... do you think that's it?

cuz hes always on them !

Answer 1

Probably a Compulsive Obsessive Tic.. Often stress-related, and yes, it could be aggravated by over-use of TV or PC.

The doctors should be able to help, and he may grow out of it, but it's not certain, and he may have it permanently

Answer 2

could be tired eyes but could also be that he has trained his eye muscles to a minimal field of vision due to all the pc etc.  a visit to the optician or opthalmic surgeon (eye doctor whichever country you are in)  if his parents are not aware of the problem you might mention it to his mother - he is still a minor and will need a parent/guardian to take the matter further.

Answer 3

when I worked in a busy law office on the computer 10 hours a day almost non-stop my eyes used to twitch but it wouldn't harm to see an optician.
