The act of blinking is essential for maintaining healthy and lubricated eyes. Blinking helps to spread tears across the surface of the eye, which keeps it moist, prevents dryness, and provides essential nutrients and oxygen to the cornea. Additionally, blinking helps to remove any dirt, debris, or particles that may have settled on the eye’s surface.

essential - существенный, значимый
lubricated eyes - смазанные глаза
to spread - распределять
moist - влажный
dryness - сухость
cornea - роговица глаза
debris - мелкий мусор (строительная пыль)
to settle on - оседать
