Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that your son is having problem of blinking of eyes while watching TV. This can be because of habit but underlying refractive error needs to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your optometrist or ophthalmologist for examination to rule out refractive error.

Thank you
