Summary

This study tests a blink reminder program called 'BlinkEasy' in 28 adults aged 18–40 who use screens at least 4 hours a day and have dry eye symptoms. Over three months, researchers will measure if the app slows the loss of oil glands in the eyelids and improves eye comfort. Participants must have mild to severe dry eye and be able to install the app.
