Purpose. To examine the possible role of corneal sensitivity and tear film quality in triggering a blink by investigating the relationship between blink rate, central corneal sensitivity threshold (CST), ocular surface temperature (OST), tear meniscus height (TMH), tear film quality (noninvasive tear break-up time [NIBUT]), and tear film lipid pattern under normal conditions.Methods. Forty-two volunteers (average age, 27.76 +/- 5.36 years; 11 males) with good ocular health (Ocular Surface Disease Index,
