The 20-20-20 habit
The rule is intentionally simple: after roughly 20 minutes of near work, shift your focus to something far away for 20 seconds. Use it as a rhythm, not a medical prescription. Pair the break with a few relaxed blinks and let your shoulders drop.
A more comfortable workstation
Keep the screen directly in front of you, reduce reflections, and use a text size that does not make you lean forward. A slightly lower screen position often feels more natural than looking upward. Match screen brightness to the room instead of using the brightest setting.
Blinking and dry eyes
People often blink less during concentrated screen work. Short, complete blinks help refresh the tear film. EyeLoveU short pauses can act as a cue: close gently, pause, open, and repeat several times without squeezing.
Helping children build boundaries
Make breaks predictable instead of punitive. Agree on the schedule before screen time begins, explain what happens when the reminder appears, and offer a clear off-screen activity. Parent mode and password protection can keep that agreement consistent.
