Eye strain is the most common reason for a toddler's excessive blinking while looking at a TV, tablet or computer. Making sure that there is adequate lighting in the room can help avoid glare and eye strain.

How will my child's [eye_doctor] diagnose the reason for my child's excessive blinking?

During a comprehensive eye exam your child's [eye_doctor] will evaluate your child's visual system by checking their eye's ability to see and move properly. The [eye_doctor] will also look for signs that the eye's structures are healthy, and that there are no scratches or other signs of irritation or infection.
