Although reading on your computer might seem more accessible to many users, it comes with a series of inconveniences, such as higher levels of eye stress or fatigue.

However, some of the side effects can be countered by relying on certain third-party software solutions, such as Calm eyes reader.

This simple application comes with a plain interface that packs a few interactive controls, which makes it possible for many users to benefit from its functions without great difficulty.

It features a standard configuration window that can be easily accessed by right-clicking the dedicated tray icon and choosing the corresponding option from the context menu. The lack of any form of help documentation can be justified by this application's high overall.

Calm eyes reader is actually a transparent colored window that you can place over your text, in an attempt to reduce the stress level your eyes are subjected to while trying to read.

It is possible to adjust the color, so that it better fits your needs, by clicking the dedicated button on the main window and selecting a suitable value. It is possible to toggle an 'Always on top' function, but also switch back to normal mode, according to your preference.

Aside from the above-mentioned functions, this application also allows you to hide or show the main window by using the context menu from the tray icon. Unfortunately, you cannot rely on hotkeys if you want a quick way to toggle the window's visibility, as this application does not feature support for this function.

To sum it up, Calm eyes reader is a lightweight application that allows you to reduce the stress level of your eyes by providing you with an adjustable colored transparent overlay. It comes with a rudimentary, unattractive user interface and few interactive functions.
