Blink slowly five times after sending
Whenyou send an email
Look away from the screen and gently close and reopen your eyelids five times. Do not squeeze or rub your eyes.
Why it works
Five is a cue-friendly count, not a tested dry-eye treatment. Try it as a brief pause in concentrated looking.
Start tiny
Make one gentle, complete blink.
What you’ll notice
You interrupt a long spell of staring.
When it slips
You rush through half-blinks; slow down and let the lids meet gently.
SafetyPersistent eye discomfort or blur needs an eye examination. Sudden vision loss or severe eye pain needs urgent care.
