It's done to save power, I think.

Not to mention exercise. It keeps your eyelid muscles in shape.

You can also hook your eyeleds into a small generator so that they
could generate electricity when you blink. These in turn would
light up a couple of small light bulbs mounted above your eyebrows
so that you can see where you're going in the dark. Also, you could
hook in a small microswitch that would turn the lightbulbs off
whenever you closed your eyes to blink--obviously, you don't need
the light, since yer eyes are closed! This would save even more
power since a couple of blink-powered eyelights would be cheaper
than a 75-watt incandescent bult that is burning steadily.

On Halloween you could paint the lightbulbs red and hang around in
graveyards at night.

I think I would use the electricity to power an electric rocket and
travel to the Andromeda Galaxy which is over hundreds of miles away.
