"The Surprising Benefits of Blinking for Vision Enhancement"

A new study from the University of Rochester shows that blinking actually boosts vision by increasing the power of retinal stimulation, despite the brief interruptions in vision caused by blinking. High-resolution eye-tracking revealed that blinks modulate the intensity of light falling on the retina, enhancing sensitivity and reformatting visual information. This research challenges the common assumption that blinks impair visual processing and suggests that blinking serves a beneficial purpose in shaping our vision.
