Did you know blinking exercises are a thing?

Blinking your eyes plays a very important part in keeping your eyes from drying out and helps with focusing. Lots of times when we are concentrating or spending lots of time on a computer we forget to blink. This can cause your eyes to dry out and lead to blurred vision for a couple of seconds until you blink again. So what can you do? You can use a good artificial tear like, refresh optic advanced, and do blinking exercises. 

Blinking exercises:

• Every 5-10 minutes while doing tasks that require lots of concentration like studying or working on a computer make a conscious effort to remember to blink.
• Make 3 good complete and strong blinks by blinking, squeezing and keeping eyes closed immediately after for 1-2 seconds. This allows the tears to coat your eye well and the little glands along your eyelids will produce more of the oily layer of the tear film.
