Nope I can keep my eyes open for long periods of time so I can go through World Tour without ever blinking

Just blink. Once you memorize a song enough you should know what keys to hit. During that split-second blink your hands will continue to hit what your eyes don't see.

Simple. I take them out and wear glasses.

But if I'm lazy and keep them in, blink whenever and pray I don't screw up. although there are times when only one effs up and I have to keep one eye shut for a moment while the other stays open.

I memorize what's on the screen before I blink

In general, playing FFR forces you to keep your eyes for unhealthy amounts of time. I try to play without my contacts and put my glasses on. If I don't, after the first few songs my contacts will dry up and it'll be a pain until I can take them off.

Even when I try periodically fast-blinking, it's not enough of a blink for your eyes to feel better and you more often than not lose your concentration and get a few goods than make your eyes feel better.

It doesn't really bother me unless it's like 8+ minutes.

That doesn't exactly answer the question. What do you do when it does bother you (i.e. 8+ minutes).

I usually just have no choice but to blink and hope that it doesn't mess up my game. I can usually do it without having to wait for a break. I guess I kinda memorize what's on the screen for that split second of blinking.

My contacts dont usually give me a problem, but if they get especially dry I just use take them out and use glasses.

Re: Contact wearers: How do YOU play?

I always wear glasses when I play FFR. If I play with contacts, I only play a few games for that reason.

Re: Contact wearers: How do YOU play?

Um.. I blink like normal. I feel like, sure, I probably blink less when sightreading a song or when it's very arrow intensive, but I just never think about blinking. I probably subconsciously memorize what's on the screen as I blink.

I do prefer glasses to contacts whilst playing though, since contacts drying really forces you to think about your eyes, when you shouldn't have to.

Re: Contact wearers: How do YOU play?

I tend to blink when I don't want to. i.e I'll go into a OCD mode where I just have to blink multiple times in a row in the middle of a song, or flex my fingers

Re: Contact wearers: How do YOU play?

My eyes get really tear-y and they blur and i miss arrows. That's how i play. xD I blink a lot and i try to do it fast.
