Blinking Less Often
It might seem impossible for some, but there are situations where people blink less often than they should. The eyes require blinking as it helps to moisten the eye and keep the sensitive organ from drying out.
While most people are perfectly fine with their blinking habits, some people who concentrate too hard on specific tasks (such as the computer) or have Parkinson’s Disease could end up with dry eyes. Dry eyes can also cause dry eyelids, though it’s usually the other way around. Those with Parkinson’s would do well to use eye drops, as they can help ensure your eyes are moisturized and don’t cause dry eyes. Those with bad blinking habits must be more aware of what’s happening in their bodies.
A simple reminder to blink when focused is crucial, as it will help develop a much better habit. Those who are into competitive gaming will often not blink for extended periods, which is not good for the eyes. A bit of mindfulness can go a long way, as it can ensure you are blinking enough for your eyes to stay moisturized. Mindfulness also helps with deep breathing exercises.
