Eyelid & Blinking Mechanics
What Happens to Your Blink as You Age?
As we age, the muscles and supporting tissues around the eyes can gradually lose strength and firmness. That can affect how closely the eyelids sit against the eyes and how completely you blink.
Because each blink helps spread and stabilize the tear film, changes in blink quality may contribute to dryness, irritation, watering, fluctuating vision, and tired-looking eyes.
Take the questionnaire below to see whether your symptoms may be connected to changes in your eyelids or blinking mechanics.
