He said i have to do eye excersse for 3 weeks.
I have one dry eye because i half blink.
What is a half blink?

Don't know what half a blink is. But if you can, go and have a 2nd opinion. I got told I had dry eye and then got an optician friend to have a look and she couldn't see anything.

well it sounds like your eyes aren't producing enough tears to lubricate a contact lens...if you wore them you'd want to claw out your eyes after a few minutes...as for half blinking...ive never heard the term before but it sounds like the lid doesn't come down over the whole eye when you blink so it isnt wetting it all

see another doctor...they make special contacts for that now...good luck!

Dry eye is when your natural tears do not lubricate your eye. There are various causes to this . As you say you half blink . I think its because you are not blinking enough. You can get artificial tears to keep your eyes lubricated. But I have not heard of exercises that would improve it. I think I would get a second opinion and a proper explanation .
