Did you know how often on average somebody blinks in one minute? Did you know how often you blink during your regular daily activities? Blinking is a automatic reflex that involves the quick shutting and opening of the eyelids. Although it seems like a minor thing, blinking is of imperative significance for eye health. Each time we blink a thin layer of tears is spread across the outer layer of the eye, the conjunctiva and the cornea. This layer moisturizes the eye, lubricates it and removes various irritations.

Normally, a good adult blinks between ten and twelve times per minute. Nonetheless, the amount of times we blink goes down significantly when we focus our eyes on something. People involved in activities that need targeting their eyes on something: reading, watching TV, working on a computer and such like, blink only 3-4 times per minute or almost sixty percent less than the ordinary rate. This not only causes additional stress on our eyes and eye muscles but increases the risks of developing assorted eye illnesses, particularly Dry Eye.

Blinking as a vision exercise will help you improve your eyesight naturally and will give you the following benefits:

- It will relax your eyes
- It'll lubricate them, forestalling Dry Eye condition or relieving its symptoms
- It will brace and improve the flexibility of your eye muscles.
