Blinking gives your eyes tiny rest breaks — your brain uses each blink to reset and process what you’re seeing. But screens disrupt that natural rhythm. We normally blink 15–20 times a minute, yet during screen use it can drop to just 5–7, leading to dry eyes, blurry vision, and digital eye strain.
A simple fix: remind yourself to blink more and follow the 20‑20‑20 rule — every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Your eyes will thank you.
