There are mainly three kinds of causes for blinking. First of all, some people usually blink because of hintertia, which should be got rid of. Secondly, some people get neurogenic blinking because the nerve fibers which are in charge of the orbicularis oculi muscles frequently contract after some stimulations. To reduce or to treat this neurogenic blinking, the patients can do some massaging around their eyes or apply a piece of warm towel on your closed eyes to make your eyes and optical muscles relaxed. Besides, you can also take in some tranquilizer or neurogenic nutrient agents to help relax your nerves. The third cause of frequentl blinking is asthenopia blinking, that is, blinking caused by eyestrain. This cause is quite common for people who get hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, and ametropia. These usually overuse their eyes for many hours consecutively without any rest, then the eyes present a kind of protective response by blinking to adjust the curvature of the eyeballs so as to make a clear distinct. In this case, people should arrange in an appropriate way how to use their eyes. They should allow their eyes to have adequate rest, do some eye exercises, and wear correspondent eyeglasses.
