It could be a side effect from meds- after all, the eyes are tied in with the nervous system. Maybe the action is related to twitching? But I'm only speculating. I've experienced brief episodes of some sort of twitchiness before too- but it goes away. Mostly it happens when I am exhausted but have had too much coffee. Whatever it is happening with your blinking, I seriously doubt it's permanent, so please don't worry yourself sick. Actually, I'm quite positive it's a temporary glitch. I think you should tell your doctor though, and be very clear about when it started, too. If he or she is just stumped, then I'd try an eye doctor- but try your pdoc first. I actually often have dry eyes myself, and they don't make me feel like blinking, for that makes them feel even worse.
