The average person blinks 17 times per minute. That equates to 1,020 times an hour, 24,480 times a day and 8,935,200 times a year. The average blink lasts approximately 1/10 of a second, which means you spend roughly 248 hours a year blinking. That’s great news for eye health! Blinking is essential in preventing eye conditions like dry eye and can help offset the effects of things like digital eye strain.
