Whenever I remember – blink 10 times!

Today, I had my contact lenses & eye check-up.

No major issues except after using the fluorescein orange dye, it was detected that my left lower section of my eye ball showed a dry patch. Due to wearing contact lenses the surface of the eye is less sensitive, therefore, I do not blink as much when the eye gets dry! And apparently, I only blink three quarters of the way! No wonder my left eye is irritated!!!

So the solution was to blink 10 times, whenever I can remember! It’s not the normal quick blink – it’s literally closing your eye for a few seconds each blink. If my eye gets any drier – it may prevent me from wearing contact lenses for long periods.. so the options may be glasses or eye-corrective surgery?!? Ummm
