Yes, Chief Optician Jakub Odcházel, DiS. advises blinking after instilling eye drops. As the eyelid moves, it helps the liquid spread across the eye. Blinking after instillation is recommended for classic eye drops that treat conditions like eyestrain, aid in hydration, or increase comfort with or without contact lenses. Your eye care professional can advise you to blink or keep your eye closed depending on the purpose of your drops.
