My older brother and his younger daughter wears glasses, and my mom does too (only recently though) so i still think i should get his eyes checked anways just to be sure. Thanks for your comment.

How old is your son? Is this something that you just noticed or something that has always been there? If it is new then you should definately contact a doctor. He could have an infection or a vision problem. It is always best to catch these things right away rather then let them get worse. I hope everything is okay with him!

well, i noticed you posted this some time ago, and he's doing better now. I probably would take him to the eye doctor, just to make sure. he might have a problem with keeping moisture on his eyes, there might be problems with is tear ducts, or he might just have blurry vision! But i hope it's not something major, and that you haven't already mentioned what you did because i didn't read the other responses. LOL that just occured to me, but i've already written this out, so i'm leaving it. :)

Everyone who uses a visual display screen needs to get their eyes tested once a year. But I wouldn't worry too much if I were you - it is probably just eyestrain caused by staring at screens for too long! I think you are supposed to blink, consciously every 15 minutes as well as roll your eyes around in your head to counteract this.

Taking him to the doctor is your best move.
Even if it is something as simple as his sitting to close to a screen or his staring at one thing for too long, it is best to be aggreseive with his eyecare.
The doctor can tell you if there is anything amiss with his tear production, which might be the reason he is blinking so much. Blinking spreads the moisture around and if that is the problem, simple eyedrops might be the answer.
You won't know until you talk to the doctor, though.

This is a great thing as usually pixels on a screen make you blink less causing sore eyes and can lead to infection if he is not cleaning his eyes surface by blinking.
