What is the world record for not blinking?

The Guinness World Record for the longest time without blinking is held by Julio Jaime Santa Cruz from Argentina. He achieved this feat by not blinking for a total of 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 11 seconds on the set of the TV show "Gente que Busca" in Buenos Aires, Argentina on April 26, 2017.

Santa Cruz's record-breaking attempt was monitored by a team of ophthalmologists and other medical professionals to ensure his safety during the challenge. The ability to go without blinking for such an extended period of time requires intense concentration and focus, as blinking helps to keep the eyes moist and prevent irritation.

It is not recommended for individuals to attempt to break this record or deliberately avoid blinking for long periods of time, as it can lead to dry eyes, discomfort, and potential damage to the cornea. It is important to remember to blink regularly to maintain eye health and lubrication.
