Art of Blinking – cornerstone of better eyesight
“ Blinking is quick involuntary closing and opening of the eyes. In most vision problems
there is either suppression or abnormality in the blinking process”
Importance of blinking…
1. Blinking releases a fluid (or tears) which moisturizes the eyes.
2. This fluid does certain cleaning action and is antiseptic.
3. These fluids flush the dust or foreign particles and keep the eye functioning.
4. Always blink more during wind or while driving as the fluid gets lost rapidly.
5. Blinking provides the much needed relief for the eye muscles to relax.
6. In cold weather frequent blinking keeps the eyes warm and comfortable.
7. It exercises the recti muscles, which is needed to keep the organ in fit condition.
8. Blinking keeps the circulation of lymphatic fluid and blood active around the eyes.
“ Blink is not the same as a wink, it is totally involuntary, light, smooth effortless
movement of the eyelid. Anything that is forced could lead to vision problems”
Observe if you have unknowingly formed a habit of staring at objects. If you think there
is any trace of strain start to blink consciously and often until you have formed the habit
of the unconscious natural blink.
Blinking tips for computer user..
- Every 20 minutes, relax and blink 10 times continuously very slowly, this will moisten
your eyes. (try avoiding lubricating eye drops unless it is necessary)
- When you catch yourself focussing with effort, shift your focus to a distant object along
with slight blinks.
- Do let me know what you would like to hear about improving eye sight naturally. (do use
