Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2006Blinking Rate vs Closing the Eyes
My contact lens optician noted to me that I have some protein deposition and a rather less than helpful tear viscosity. He suggests I try blinking more frequently. I'll try this, but I wonder about closing my eyes every so often. Are blinks more efficient than closed eye periods?

So blinking (but it's very hard to teach people to blink more) is more effective than just closing your eyes. I recommend a good cl rewetting agent during the day to help with your cl wear. frank |
