Default Eye pain

Anyone got tips on how to blink during songs? Always end up staring at the screen without blinking for minutes then power blinking between songs. Can't keep eyes open during songs any more it burns.

Try to blink during parts where it's slow, but if it's a lot of arrows coming your way, blink quick and don't let your fingers stop the rhythm.

Seriously, just stay hydrated. You should be able to blink naturally and quickly without thinking about it. Thing is - when you think about it, it only makes it worse.

Don't wear contacts while playing if you can avoid it, and try not to think about it. I remember having this problem (especially when I wore contacts) and the only thing that really helped was hydration and putting it out of my mind (and switching to glasses ^_^).

You know.. I've never had this "blinking" problem until I read this post. Played a few songs and EVERY ONE OF THEM I HAD THIS ISSUE.
Thanks, now I gotta remember what I did to not blink.

Before I could have gone through all of World Tour 2004 without a second thought. Now I... uuuuuugh.

Hehu.

I've actually had issues with my eyes watering mid-song before, but aside from timing your blinks to occur during less dense sections, another tactic is to move your eyes around ever so slightly. This causes them to re-focus and can sometimes give you a few more precious seconds.

I have never had any problems with my eyes. I do tend to blink when I am tired, though. Just stay hydrated...
