Blepharospasm is often associated with dry eyes, but the causal mechanism is still not clear. [16] [8] Research in New York and Italy suggests that increased blinking (which may be triggered by dry eyes) leads to blepharospasm. [24] [25] A case control study in China found that blepharospasm aggravated dry eyes. [26]
The corneal reflex, also known as the blink reflex or eyelid reflex, [1] is an involuntary blinking of the eyelids elicited by stimulation of the cornea (such as by touching or by a foreign body), though it could result from any peripheral stimulus. Stimulation should elicit both a direct and consensual response (response of the opposite eye).
Blinking is a bodily function; it is a semi-autonomic rapid closing of the eyelid. [1] A single blink is determined by the forceful closing of the eyelid or inactivation of the levator palpebrae superioris and the activation of the palpebral portion of the orbicularis oculi, not the full open and close.
[15] [16] Those experiencing severe symptoms can also utilize behavior techniques such as repeated blinking during hallucinations, rapid eye movement from one object to another and bright lighting to engage the visual neural pathways.
Evidence has shown that newborns' eyes do not work in the same fashion as older children or adults – mainly due to poor coordination of the eyes. Newborn's eyes move in the same direction only about half of the time. [17] The strength of eye muscle control is positively correlated to achieve depth perception.
