Blinking and normal ocular surface in school-aged children and the effects of age and screen time
Conclusions
Blinking characterised in situ was not impacted by age or habitual digital device use. A faster blink rate was associated with greater tear volume but not symptoms. Improved tear function was found with age suggesting that the ocular surface continues to develop through childhood.
