Why do children blink when watching TV?

Nowadays, almost every family has a TV. Children love watching TV, especially cartoons, because they are always attracted by the plots in cartoons. Parents are reminded to teach their children the correct way to watch TV, especially to control the time children watch TV. In addition, some children always blink their eyes when watching TV. Why is this?

Why do children blink when watching TV?

Children who keep blinking while watching TV may have eye inflammation

If a child's eyes blink and become dry while watching TV, it may be a mild inflammation. Children are active and like to run around and touch things. There are usually many bacteria on their hands. However, when their eyes are uncomfortable, children tend to rub them with their hands, which makes the eyes prone to inflammation.

To avoid worsening inflammation, it is recommended to take your child to see a doctor and use eye drops as required every day. It can help children gradually develop good habits and not touch their mouths, eyes and other parts with dirty hands. If you watch TV for more than 30 minutes, you need to turn away from the TV and look into the distance to relieve eye fatigue.

Children who blink frequently while watching TV may have childhood hypertonicity

Polyblink in children means blinking more than 12 times per minute, without facial spasm or other systemic symptoms, with relatively independent clinical signs and no neurological diseases. Parents should take their children to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time after discovering this.

Because vitamins and trace elements play an important role in ensuring the normal function of the eyes, and children with picky eating habits are prone to polycystic ovary syndrome, parents also need to pay attention to their children's diet.

Children always blink when watching TV, it may be because of the TV screen

If the TV image changes quickly and the picture flickers, since children's visual development is not yet complete, watching TV for a long time can lead to hyperexcitement of the visual center's balance inhibition, reflexively causing multiple blinks, which is also a feedback defense action.

Studies have confirmed that watching TV for 30-50 minutes has no obvious adverse effects on children's eyesight, but if it continues for more than 2 hours, it can cause more than 60% of children to suffer varying degrees of vision loss and a significant increase in visual fatigue. Although visual fatigue can be recovered after a rest, repeated doing so will cause damage to the eyes.
