    Hello, eye squeezing is a normal physiological phenomenon of the human body, and its main function is to ensure the wetness of the cornea and conjunctiva. In general, the interval between flashes is more than a few seconds, and if there is a paroxysmal rapid blink, it is an anomaly. Children blink a lot, and if they squeeze their eyes, it is worth noting.

    The main reasons for this are as follows:

    1.Inflammation and allergic diseases of the external eye: mainly trachoma, chronic conjunctivitis, spring catarrhal conjunctivitis, etc., children feel eye discomfort and excessive blinking.

    2.Trichiasis: Some children grow fatter and have thick subcutaneous fat under the eyelids, causing entropion trichiasis, or idiopathic entropion trichiasis. Because the eyelashes touch the cornea or bulbar conjunctiva, it causes a foreign body and stinging sensation in the eye, and children often squeeze their eyes.

    3.Caused by foreign bodies: foreign bodies on the surface of the conjunctiva and cornea accidentally enter the eye, and after the child rubs the eyes, the foreign body on the surface of the bulbar conjunctiva or cornea and fornix remains, or the foreign body abrases the conjunctiva and cornea, causing the child to squeeze the eyes and blink.

    Because children's visual function is not yet fully developed, visual hyperexcitement can cause a kind of feedback defensive action—multi-momentary.

    5.Bad habits: Some children do not have any abnormalities in their eyes after examination, but an involuntary habitual blinking, which gets worse over time.

    Some parents scold their children after discovering that they have the habit of blinking and squeezing their eyes, which will cause their children to be overly nervous, making the phenomenon of blinking and squeezing eyes more serious.

    When parents find that their children often blink and squeeze their eyes, they should first carefully ask their children what is uncomfortable with their eyes, whether they are itchy and have a foreign body sensation, etc., and then ask an ophthalmologist to check and carry out **, if necessary, the eye can be dripped with antibiotic eye solution, trichiasis, and cornea and conjunctival foreign bodies can be removed. Also stop watching TV and don't play on the computer. If it is a bad habit of blinking and squeezing eyes, parents should not blindly reprimand their children, but should educate children not to blink and squeeze their eyes consciously as much as possible, and gradually overcome the bad habit of blinking and squeezing their eyes.
