Very, very good 4 the eyes....it stimulates a moisturizing action...to help keep them 'liquid'. This is essential to helping to maintain their health.

In the Blink of an Eye
Some people value eyes as windows to the soul. Others find eyelids more revealing. Nine hundred times an hour, three hundred million times a lifetime, the blink of an eye can tell much about what's going on in a person's mind.
Some blinks protect the eyes, others lubricate the cornea. Infants blink for only these reasons; studies of newborns have established that the reflex to moisten and clean the eye occurs only once every two minutes. From infancy on, however, the blink rate steadily increases until, at puberty, people reach a blink-rate plateau--an average of about 15 blinks a minute--which they maintain for the rest of their lives.
The vast majority of these blinks serve no physical function but are by-products of mental processes, says psychologist John A. Stern of Washington University in St. Louis, a pioneer in the study of blinking. Using everything from electrodes to infrared cameras, researchers have shown that the frequency, duration and timing of blinks are influenced by a wide range of physical and mental states.
Tasks involving visual activity decrease blink frequency, particularly when concentration is required. Pilots blink less frequently than copilots do, and drivers blink less often while maneuvering through crowded city streets than they do on lonely stretches of highway.

Yes, indeed, since it helps keep the eyes clean and WATER, in this case TEARs help to keep the Retina moist. Also blinking helps when the dust particles in the eyes are collected in the corners of the eyes through this process.

Eye blinking is one of the autonomic actions of the body. The eyes blink to keep the eyeball moist, whether the person is blind or not.

YES. When you blink, your tear glands coat your eyes with basically tears. Your eyes require moisture for health. The moisture also keeps the dirt and other particles washes out of your eyes.

Yes, it clears the eyes of any dust or dirt, and keeps the eyes moist.
