20-20-20 Rule Reminder Calculator
Schedule the eye-break rule across your workday and see how many breaks a session needs.
Digital eye strain comes mostly from sustained near-focus and reduced blinking (screen users blink ~⅓ as often, drying the eyes). The 20-20-20 rule relaxes the focusing muscle and prompts a blink reset — distance gazing is the active ingredient, not the exact numbers. It won't cause or cure short-sightedness in adults, but it reliably reduces the gritty, tired-eye feeling of long screen days.
