What Causes Twitching/blinking Of Eyes In 9 Year Old?

My 9 year old blinks eyes constantly (actually more of twitching his eyes). When he is focused on reading a book or writing, he does not twitch much. The worst time is when he walks or being idle, he would twitch left eye than right eye on and on. I asked him how he felt to twitch, he said he felt itchy eyes, and mom asks him not to rub eyes so he twitch. I felt it may not be that easy. What

do you think?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I reviewed your history.
The common causes that need to be ruled out are allergic conjunctivitis, allergic blepharitis, uncorrected refractive error....
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
