I don't think that blinking alot, will give you an aggregate score of improvement! What I mentioned earlier is just one of the minor effects of a single blink. Often it seems that the ‘sparkles' vanish for a moment after blinking.

A lot happens when you blink. Even ignoring the amazing servicing of the external surface, the visual circuits use the opportunity to ‘reset'. Each and every movement gives another kind of refresher, indeed, if you could hold your eyes perfectly still, in theory, you would suddenly not be able to see. However, you can't achieve this, and the greying effect sometimes achieved while staring at one tiny spot, is yet another type of reaction: all perfectly normal.

While I certainly would not worry about a phenomenon that affects almost everybody, any worsening or changes should prompt you to have a check-up.

Plenty of threads about floaters, almost all of which are nothing more than slightly tedious. Any sudden increase, esp. with flashing in that eye should be confirmed as PVD, again not usually serious, but must be checked.
