Can simple blinking exercises actually help relieve dry eye symptoms? According to brand new research in 2025—yes! In this video, we break down two blinking exercise protocols that have been shown to improve tear film stability, eye strain, and even reduce incomplete blinks.
👁️ Why screen time leads to incomplete blinking
👁️ Step-by-step instructions from the original 2021 blinking protocol
👁️ What’s new in the 2025 study: “dazzle eyes” and “fox eye” movements
👁️ How strengthening the orbicularis oculi muscle improves blink quality
👁️ Results after just 3 days—and why this may be more realistic than blinking every 20 minutes
The video also covers a desktop app called Blink that tracks your blink rate and posture in real time. It’s designed to remind you to blink, sit up straight, and reduce strain from screen time.
