The eyelid motion dynamics of the human eyeblink were studied with a high speed camera system. Films were made from a hidden location through a one-way mirror. Normal, unforced blinks were recorded. The descent of the upper eyelid reached its maximum speed at about the time it crosses the visual axis, generally in the range of 17-20 cm/s, but occasionally reaching a speed of over 40 cm/s. The motion of the lower eyelid was mostly horizontal, in a nasally directed movement, with a total displacement in the range of 2-5 mm. A distinction must be made between normal, unforced blinks and voluntary, forced eyelid motion. In a normal blink, no appreciable upward rotation of the globe is observed. A forced blink or a restraint of motion of the upper eyelid results in Bell''s movement. The globe moves posteriorly up to 1-6 mm as the upper eyelid descends, probably caused by eyelid pressure during the closing phase of the blink.
