Does anyone know the cause of blinking every second (literally)?

Asked by kelly8906 (340points) February 1st, 2009

I recently met this guy who blinks every second. He looks like he is in pain when he does it too. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Does anyone know what might cause this? I didn’t want to ask him..

Could be a tic.

I had a boss that used to do that and he blinked hard, also. Does that make sense? Not just a quick blink, but almost a closing of the eyes. He had dry eyes.

Tourette syndrome, perhaps? link

My son’s friend’s dad does that. He blinks so fast and squeezes them shut so tight! I don’t know why but he is such a fun guy that I don’t really notice it as much, it’s just part of who he is.
