Dry eyes and excessive blinking

2021-02-12 18:23:35
Is it normal to constantly blink, raise eyebrows and roll your eyes when your eyes hurt because they feel very dry? I do this many times everyday and have been doing this for a very long time. I don't know if it's out of habit but I just have an urge to do it. Is this normal?

Hi.. Some people do get into a habit of certain behavioural pattern , not necessarily due to some issue. Mostly , it is from childhood,  kind of a tick..or repeated movement. Many times in certain stress situation.it is quite difficult to get rid of it. For dryness,  try using lubricating drops 3/4 times.
