Questions about blinking? how do get better tears so you can blink less often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Involuntary: While you can briefly control your blinking rate, after several moments it enters the automatic phase beyond your control (this is a good thing). You can get the best tear flow with maintainence of good hydration and the ingestion of flax seed oil. Other wise you have no other control. Why do you feel your blink rate is too rapid?
