The eye responds to light by closing or blinking rapidly to protect it.
Individual eye is very big. It is located within the hollow area in the skull. The eyelids serve as a protection to the front part of the eye. The lid, which is the thin layer of skin helps keep the eye clean and wet by opening and shutting many times per minutes. This is also known as blinking.

For instance if light is applied your eye, the eyelids press together to protect your eye. The eyelids will squeeze firmly together until they adapt or adjust to the light. Often, the eyelids squeeze tightly to protect the eye from possible danger.
Blinking refers to actions that involve closing and opening of the eyelids that helps to keep the eye lubricated and clean. The eyelid possesses reflexes (automatic body responses) which also protect the eye. It is assumed that individual blinks twelve times per minute.
