All About Kids' Eye-sight

DS1 tend to do this also. Once at GP (family one), DH asked Doctor what could be done. Doctor immediately reply, \"oh, then have to take out the whole eyeball\".


At that, DS1 looked with eyes big big....not daring to blink.

i tried to do the scare tactic, but the grandma had to go and tell the scared boy that my threats are nonsense. :roll:

hi jedamum/pink_daisy,

when my girl was around 6-7, she developed this habit of winking 1 or both eyes, which I thot was motor tics too. We monitored, didnt kick a fuss, and after a few weeks it disappeared only to reappear the following year.

After 2 years, we figured out the tics came about when during the yearend holidays when she watched loads of cartoons. And once school started, they disappeared as she cut down on tv. So perhaps, your kids are watching too much tv?

yes. i recalled back and realised that it all began when i introduced a daily computer game slot for him.
had barred him from using computer already and together with ds2, both are on tv-diet.
hope it'll work.

Then you should tell your kid that it's because grandma probably won't be around long enough to see that happen :siam:

Choy! Rather, Grandma will never get to see that happen because it will not happen.

jedamum, acupuncture very painful hor. small kid can take it meh? :yikes:

I had acupuncture before and my pain threshold reduces after each visit till I cannot tahan, so put a stop to it. Hope yr boy can take the pain.

ive already cut down on ds tv watching and playing computer time since the beginning of the year.

brought him to c the GP tis morning… he said it could b some ‘bad habits’… nothing serious…but he wrote me a referral letter to go to the hosptial if i still feel disturbed if the act still doesnt go away.
guess hv to monitor ds n hope everything will b ok…

thanks for sharing.
think i will go polyclinic for referral too.
told ds1 that i will deduct his savings for reimbursement of all treatment relating to his bad habit if doctor diagnose it to be really a case of bad habit. only when the fierce dad is around, he will make the effort to control; other times, he'll just twitch away. :x

may i ask how long did your boy blink before you decide to seek medical opinion?
