About Digital Eye Relief
Digital Eye Relief - 20-20-20 Rule Timer
Protect your eyes from digital strain with gentle reminders to take screen breaks.
The Problem
Staring at screens for hours causes digital eye strain—affecting up to 97% of computer users. Symptoms include tired
eyes, headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision.
The Solution
Digital Eye Relief uses the 20-20-20 rule recommended by eye doctors: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away
for 20 seconds. This simple habit relaxes your eye muscles and reduces strain.
