Dry eye is a common condition that affects approximately 1 in 5 people.
Take time to rest your eyes and blink normally when watching TV or working in front of a computer, as prolonger computer use can cause dryness.
Use the 20-20-20 rule.
Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and focus your eyes on something at least 20 feet away.

The average person blinks 15 to 20 times a minute, which amounts to more than six million blinks a year.
When we blink all the way, by bringing the lids together during blinking, oil is better secreted from the Meibomian glands in the lids to lubricate the ocular surface.
In normal healthy people there is on average a five – fold decrease in blink rate during screen use.
It has been demonstrated that 10-20% of people show incomplete blinking whilst carrying out visual tasks.
Often when we are focused on computer screens, reading, driving, or the television, we tend to only blink half-way or incompletely without realization.
Blinking Sequence:
CLOSE-PAUSE-PAUSE-OPEN-RELAX
CLOSE-PAUSE-PAUSE-SQUEEZE-OPEN-RELAX
Note: To check your blink, place your finger gently on the bone to the outside corner of one eye. When you are blinking "normally", you should feel very little movement from the muscles around your eye.
The aggressive squeeze is used to ensure that the eyelid closure muscles are being utilized.
If you feel anything, you are using your defense muscles that run along the side of your head. Your blinking muscles are above your eyelids. The goal of these exercises are to get your blinking muscles working, this squeezing emphasizes complete closure and muscle contraction.
An efficient blink is full and complete meaning that the top lid lightly touches the bottom lid
Furthermore, an efficient blink is relaxed and light, meaning that the only the muscles of the eye are involved.
To make significant, improvement, practice this exercises every 30 minutes for at least 1 week.
It’s important to set up cues when doing focused work to ensure you are blinking all the way to better force oil out of the Meibomian glands and prevent tears from evaporating from the ocular surface.

Eye Lid Cleansing is a very important step to removing crust, debris and thick meibum and the eye massage is used to expel the meibum/lipids.
After the warm compressing, the oils should be more liquefied and be more amenable to lid massages.
While ensuring your eyes are kept closed, the upper eye lid is pulled tight, and the edge of the index finger is used to gently pull downwards, across the top lids toward the lid margins/eye lashes 20 times,
The same process can be used for the lower eye lids, making sure to always push towards the lashes. Gently push your index finger UP across the bottom lids toward the lid margins/eye lashes 20 times.
SCRUB the eyelashes - Gently scrub back and forth across the lash lines with an eyelid and lash wipe.
Take out towelette from the box.
Close eye tightly, without squinting and gently cleanse the eye lid with a light pass along the lid line.
Use another towelette for the opposite eye.
