Two minutes of eye exercise that actually protects your sight.

Q: How do I ease eye strain from a computer?

Run the 20-20-20 rule through the day, blink like you mean it, and do a short routine daily. This tool times both and keeps you honest with a streak.

Q: How long should eye exercises take?

Two to three minutes is plenty to reset tired eyes. Doing it every day matters more than doing it long, which is the whole reason for the streak.

Q: Can eye exercises fix digital eye strain?

They won't replace an optometrist, but regular exercises ease the fatigue, dryness, and focusing trouble that long screen days cause. Think maintenance, not cure.

Q: What is the 20-20-20 rule for eyes?

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It relaxes the muscle that holds your focus up close and lets your blink rate recover, which is the main reason eyes feel gritty after a screen day.

Q: Does the 20-20-20 rule actually work?

For easing eye strain and dryness, yes. The mechanism is simple and the studies back it. This tool times the rule and adds a short daily routine so the habit actually forms.

Q: What's the best free 20-20-20 eye app?

Look for one that reminds you every 20 minutes and doesn't ask for a login. This tool runs the rule plus a two-minute guided routine, free, right in your browser.

A guided daily routine with a streak (covering palming, focus shifts, blinks, and tracking) for anyone who stares at screens from sunrise to shutdown.

· Coach's note ·

Your eyes were never meant for eleven hours of fixed focus. The 20-20-20 rule helps, but a real two-minute reset does more: it re-wets dry eyes, frees the focusing muscle, and forces you to look up. Do it daily and the strain stops creeping in by mid-afternoon.

Look around.Every 20 minutes, shift your gaze to something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This eye is sweeping the room. That's the reset your focusing muscle needs.

The science behind it

Up close, your ciliary muscle stays contracted and the lens stays rounded. Hold that all day and it cramps, the same way a clenched fist would. Near-far focus shifts let it relax, and palming gives the visual system a brief rest from light it rarely gets.

Blinking is the quiet hero: a full blink spreads the tear film, and screen users blink roughly half as often, so eyes dry out and burn. The exercises are short on purpose: the win is doing them daily, not doing them hard, which is why the streak matters more than the routine.
