Why Do We Blink?

Blinking assists to maintain the cleanliness of the external layer of the eye. The eye is handily tainted, and
in the event that we didn’t have the eyelid there to assist with keeping it clean, we would foster eye
diseases considerably more regularly. Flickering likewise assists with flushing new tears and supplements
across the outside of the eye, this assists with holding it back from getting dry.

The normal individual squints 24 times each moment, yet this number drops radically when utilizing a
computerized gadget. While we utilize computerized gadgets our flickers each moment drops to around
10, that is more than a half percent drop! This can make the eyes get stressed, sore, and dry. Because of
the fluid idea of your eye, it is vulnerable to gathering residue and trash. Flickering assists with cleaning
the visual surface of this garbage, so when you squint half as much you’re not cleaning your
eyes as much as is important. After some time this can harm the surface constructions of your eye.

Flickering is a basic and powerful approach to keep your eyes new and concentrate longer. At the point
when you center eagerly around a TV or PC screen, you will in general flicker less, which can strain your
eyes. Normal flickering gives two primary capacities – clearing tears across the cornea and pressing the
Meibomian organs deliver the slick layer onto the tears.

When we spend extended periods of time staring at TV screens, computers, laptops, tablets, and digital
phones, it affects our blinking. So always remember the 20-20-20 rule! For every 20 minutes, look at a
faraway object with a distance of 20 feet for about 20 seconds. Looking at digital screens has been a big
part of our everyday lives for work and for entertainment but don’t forget to have break times in between
office work or video games to not harm your eyes.
