Humans blink about 15–20 times every minute

Each blink lasts a fraction of a second and spreads a fresh tear film across the eye — cleaning and lubricating without a conscious order.

Over a day that stacks to roughly 10,000–20,000 blinks you barely notice.

Maintenance on autopilot. Screens can slow the rate; remind the lids to keep the windshield wet.
