You can increase your blinking rate by performing a simple eye exercise.
Here's how to blink more effectively:
- Gently Close Your Eyes: Fully close your eyes and hold for a count of 1, 2.
- Squeeze Your Eyelids Together: Squeeze your eyelids together tightly and hold for a count of 1, 2.
- Open Your Eyes: Open your eyes completely and hold for a count of 1, 2.
- Repeat: Repeat this exercise 5 times.
This exercise helps to stimulate blinking, which is crucial for maintaining eye moisture and reducing eye strain. Blinking helps spread tears across the surface of your eyes, keeping them lubricated and clear of debris. If you consistently experience dry eyes, consult with an eye care professional. They can provide personalized advice and treatment options.
