Thursday: Eye helpers

A dusty wind blows across the yard.

Rocket blinks and blinks.

Raven asks, "What do you notice your eyes doing?"

Nova says, "Your eyes have helpers."

Eyelids and lashes

Your eyelids protect the front of your eyes.

Eyelids open and shut several times a minute.

That is called blinking.

You blink without even thinking about it.

Eyelashes work with eyelids.

They help keep dust and dirt out.

Tears are helpers too

Each blink spreads a tiny bit of tear water.

Tears keep your eyes from drying out.

Tears help wash away dust.

In very bright light, eyelids squeeze tight.
