Just been to the GP today for my boy's eye problem.?

Question

there are time when my 2 year old boy's eyes blinking a lot which made me worry. This just started around two months ago, the GP said it is Blepharospasm. Did not even check my boy, just watched the video i have made.

Don't know what to do, because the GP did not even refer us to a neurologist for testing.

Do you know any toddler who has blepharospasm? is there any treatment? Should i just accept what the GP said about my boy's case without any testing?

Answer 1

According to the National Eye Institute, there is no cure for blepharospasm, but some people find relief in botox injections or surgery.  The National Institute of Health's medical encyclopedia says that it sometimes will go away in about a week.  I would call an ophthalmologist and have them look at your son's eye, especially since it has gone for two months.

Good luck.  My daughter is not yet 2 and wears glasses (for a different reason), and I know how scary it can be to worry about your child's vision.
