Abstract

This study presents a novel technique to measure the motion of the eyelid during blinking. High-speed imaging and digital image correlation (DIC) were employed to monitor the eyelid during blinking in a non-invasive manner. Both spontaneous and reflex blinks were studied. A black liquid eyeliner was used to generate a speckle pattern on the surface of the eyelid. Facet motion captured through a DIC analysis software generated kinematic data for each blink. Calculations using this data set yielded information on the duration of the blink, eyelid displacements, and peak eyelid velocities. A consistent data set quantified the difference between blink types and reinforced the accuracy and repeatability of this DIC analysis method to measure the kinematics of blinking.
