You blink 15โ20 times a minute normally. On a screen? As few as 5โ7. ๐๏ธ
That's a significant drop โ and it's the primary reason your eyes feel dry, scratchy, and tired by midday. Every blink refreshes the tear film that keeps your eye surface healthy. Fewer blinks means more dryness and more strain.
The 20-20-20 rule helps. So does consciously blinking more during screen sessions. But if dry eyes are a persistent problem, a comprehensive eye exam is the right next step โ it identifies what's actually happening and what will help.
