METHODS: Prospective comparative study. Selecting 46 cases of children with "frequent blink" as the first reason in our ophthalmic outpatient clinic in 2016-11/2017-02 as abnormal blink group. In the same period, 46 children with non-anomalous blink were selected as control group. The history collection, slit lamp examination, refractive examination, Schirmer I test(SⅠt), tear film break-up time(BUT), and the number of times of LLT and incomplete blink(PB)were measured and compared surface light interferometer were compared.

RESULTS: The LLT of the abnormal blink group was 72.17(22.13, 91.00)nm, which was lower than that of the control group 81.97(30.25,95.27)nm,(U=674.5, P=0.028); The mean equivalent spherical degrees(-0.98±3.09D)and SⅠt(11.39±2.46mm/5min)in the abnormal blink group were not different from those in the control group(-0.24±3.06D, 11.74±2.10mm/5min)(P>0.05). Mean PB(0.58±0.28)and mean BUT in the eyes of blink group There was a difference(18.27±5.51s)from the control group(0.43±0.17, 21.01±6.14s)(P<0.05).

CONCLUSION: Children's abnormal blinks are associated with many factors, and the LLT decline may be an important factor in children's abnormal blink.
