Blinking has been shown to actually boost vision, rather than impair it as previously thought. Research has found that blinking increases the power of retinal stimulation, enhances visibility, and helps reformat visual information. Despite the brief blackouts in vision that occur during blinking, neural activity rebounds to a higher level afterward, improving vision. This new study suggests that blinking is useful for more than just lubricating the eyes, and plays a crucial role in enhancing visual perception.
