Your eyes need to stay wet and clean so they can keep seeing clearly all day long.

What do you call it when your eyelids quickly close and open to clean your eyes?

Blinking
Every time you blink, your eyelids spread a thin layer of tears across your eyes to wash away dust and keep them from drying out. You blink thousands of times a day without even noticing!

Blinking is the quick closing and opening of your eyelids, spreading a thin layer of tears across your eyes to wash away dust and keep them from drying out.

Sneezing blasts air out through your nose to clear irritants, unrelated to eyelids. Yawning is a big slow breath your body sometimes takes, also unrelated to cleaning eyes.

People blink thousands of times a day without noticing, and we blink less while intensely focused, like reading or staring at a screen.
