Hello
It seems from the history that your 3 year old son is having increased blinking.
Increased blinking is commonly seen in children and the causes are uncorrected refractive error, allergic conjunctivitis...
Dryness of eyes is not very common in children, hence I advice you to get second opinion from another ophthalmologist to confirm the diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
