Hello, frequent blinking in children may be caused by inflammatory irritation, such as conjunctivitis or keratitis; congenital entropion and trichiasis—where the eyelid is naturally inverted, causing lashes to rub against the ocular surface; fatigue-related blinking, often associated with refractive errors; habitual blinking—developed through repeated blinking over time; or intraocular foreign bodies—such as debris lodged on the surface of the bulbar conjunctival fornix. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
