When you’re on your phone, your eyes blink up to 60% less than normal.
Blinking is essential to spread tears evenly across the eye surface and keep eyes moist, comfortable, and protected.
When blinking reduces, your eyes dry out faster, leading to strain and long-term discomfort.
What reduced blinking can cause:
• Dry, gritty, or burning eyes
• Redness and irritation
• Eye fatigue and heaviness
• Blurred vision after screen use
• Increased risk of digital eye strain
Why it happens:
When we focus intensely on screens, our brain suppresses natural blinking. Over time, this disrupts the tear film and stresses the eye surface.
Your eyes work harder than you realise, give them the care they deserve. 👁️
