[ ] reaction to dilating drops (son still blinking)

I took my 3.5 year old son for his annual eye exam 9 days ago. The pediatric

eye doc used Cyclogyl which I thought was " safe " b/c no mercury. Two days later

my son started blinking (hard with both eyes). The blinking continues and my

heart is breaking. Please see the video I posted on our blog:

http://matthewsauti smjourney. blogspot. com/.

's right eye that crosses in so he needs to have his eyes checked

annually/update his corrective lenses. My questions are:

1) can dilation set off a tic?

2) what can I do to stop/reduce the blinking?

3) will he ever be able to get the dilating drops again (he needs them

annually, but now I'm scared as hell to do them again)

Thanks,
