why do people blink?


Every time we blink, normally about six times a minute, a tear is secreted by the lachrymal gland in the corner of the eye. This tear spreads over the cornea to keep the eyeball clean and moist. The amount you blink increases when wind, dust or bright light threatens to harm the eye.

    I sure am glad my blinker still works. I have some problems with dry and when that happens there is no moisture for the eyeball. Thanks for the post cause I've always wondered about this too.
