Blinking Exercises for Dry Eyes & Digital Eye Strain | Dr. Lauren Zimski

Описание: Blinking Exercises for Dry Eyes & Digital Eye Strain | Dr. Lauren Zimski
Did you know that blinking is essential for healthy eyes? Many of us don’t think about blinking, but it plays a critical role in protecting the ocular surface and maintaining tear film stability. Every blink should help release oil from the meibomian glands, keeping tears from evaporating too quickly and preventing dry eye symptoms.
In this video, Dr. Lauren Zimski explains why myoglobin gland dysfunction (MGD) is the most common cause of dry eye, often more than “true” dry eye disease. She also discusses how digital device use and prolonged screen time reduce the frequency and completeness of blinking, leading to clogged oil glands and worsening dry eyes, burning, and irritation.
Dr. Zimski demonstrates simple daily blinking exercises to strengthen the orbicularis muscle around your eyelids, improve gland function, and boost tear production. She recommends performing these exercises in the morning and before bed for the best results. With consistent practice, these exercises can help relieve digital eye strain, prevent dryness, and improve overall eye comfort.
