Why do we Blink
The eye is the fastest muscle in the body, blinking is unconsciousness process that takes
only 0.2133 seconds (Lauren 1). Most people don’t even notice when they blink, however that
doesn’t mean that the process is not important. Scientists have done much research to find the
causes for this automatic human response. Tear stability, lubrication, and improved brain
function are reasons for why people blink.
