Why do eyes blink in unison? (Details)

Asked by MrGrimm888 (19045points) April 10th, 2017

I know why, physiologically.

In evolutionary terms, it seems like a disadvantage. No sight, for a moment. Why wouldn’t they blink one at a time? Then an animal would always have sight.

I can’t think of an animal that blinks, that nature hasn’t made blink with both eyes, at once.
