Blinking is a natural preserver of your better vision.

Blinking cleanses and lubricates the eyes. When there is no tension, your eyes blink 10-12 times every minute, or about once every 5 seconds. But people who do not see clearly tend to stare and unconsciously hold their eyes open, which causes strain as well as the feeling of dry and tired eyes.

Consciously remind yourself to blink every 3-5 seconds. Of course, you don't want to go through the day with a stopwatch, but the more conscious you are of blinking regularly, the better it is for your eyes.

The eyelid is the only part of the body that is controlled by just one muscle. Any other movement usually involves 2 muscles – one that contracts and one that stretches to make the movement. Your eyelid is controlled by only one muscle. By having proper relaxation in that muscle, it can promote relaxation throughout the entire body. That's why you often hear hypnotists using the phrase "your eyes are becoming heavy" as a way to get their subject to become more relaxed.

þA blinking exercise that you can practice frequently throughout the day is called Flutter Blinking. To practice Flutter Blinking, blink your eyes lightly and rapidly 10 to 20 times. Do not strain or squeeze your eyes shut and relax your face as you blink. Then close your eyes and relax. Repeat this 2 or 3 times. Flutter Blinking will help to keep your eyes moist, relaxed and free of strain.
