 /**
- * This Higher Order Component (HOC) unmounts a component when it looses
- * navigation 'focus' - e.g. it will unmount when you navigate away from it.
- * Unlike the react-navigation `withNavigationFocus` it will unmount on the
- * `didBlur` event instead of `willBlur` - i.e. the unmount will happen at the
- * end of any navigation transition. This is necessary because unmounting the
- * camera component is expensive and can lock-up the transition animation.
+ * This Higher Order Component (HOC) that provides an `isFocussed` prop to the
+ * wrapped component, similar to
+ * [`withNavigationFocus`](https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/with-navigation-focus.html)
+ * from `react-navigation` but in contrast to that, this one considers the
+ * screen to be focussed until it finishes animating out, as opposed to until
+ * when is starts animating out.
