Not blinking for a long time can be harmful to the health of your eyes.
Blinking is a normal physiological activity. When blinking, the eyelids will drive the tears covering the cornea and conjunctiva to move, thus forming a uniform and stable tear film on the surface of the eyes to protect the cornea and conjunctiva from drying out, and taking away the dust and other harmful substances adhering to the surface of the eyes through the circulation of the tears.
Failure to blink will result in a decrease in the stability of the tear film and a blockage of tear circulation, which can easily lead to dry eye, as well as conjunctivitis, keratitis and other conditions with a higher incidence.
Patients who are unable to blink their eyes should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for examination in time, and be clearly diagnosed by the doctor, for example, the common causes are facial nerve paralysis, etc., and should be treated under the guidance of the doctor in time.
