On screens all day? We blink up to 60% less when working on computers or phones which explains why eyes can feel dry, tired, or gritty by the end of the day.
Here are realistic tricks to blink more often while working:
▫️ Micro-break emails: every time you hit “send,” close your eyes for 2–3 slow blinks before moving on.
▫️ Water rule: sip water regularly and blink each time you take a drink. Hydration helps both body and eyes.
▫️ Calendar nudges: set a recurring reminder every 30 minutes that simply says “BLINK.”
▫️ Blink when switching tasks: before opening a new tab or document, do a few full blinks.
▫️ Screen position: lowering your monitor slightly helps eyelids close more naturally.
▫️ Apps can help: giving gentle reminders to rest your eyes and blink during long work sessions.
Blinking is like a natural refresh button, it spreads tears evenly, clears debris, and keeps vision comfortable all day long.
