We’ve done What If you didn’t blink for a week. Now let’s do the exact opposite, What If you Didn’t open your Eyes for a Week? Would our eyes suffer any type of damage for being closed for that long? Would opening our eyes after that long be dangerous to us? What would happen to our eyelids?
imortant
I don’t blink every 4 secs l blink every 7 secs

Staring contests
If you were to not blink for a week, your eyes would become dry and irritated. The lack of blinking would cause the tear film that coats the eye to evaporate, leading to dry eye syndrome. Without the protective barrier of the tear film, the eyes would also be more susceptible to infection and inflammation. Additionally, your vision would likely be impaired, and you would experience significant discomfort and pain. It is important to blink regularly to keep the eyes lubricated and healthy.
Why would the sun blind me? I go outside with my eyes open all the time. So stupid.
What if you closed your eyes for a week
