Eye Relax

Eye Relax is a handy little tool that helps you take a break from staring at your screen for too long. We all know how tiring it can be to spend hours in front of the computer, right? That’s why it’s super important to give your eyes a break every now and then. Eye Relax reminds you when it's time to do some eye relaxation exercises, and you can easily access it through the system tray icon.

Easy Access and Options

The right-click menu on this app gives you some shortcuts, including one to the “Options” section. In this area, you’ll find different exercises designed to help relax your eyes. The instructions for these exercises are easy to follow and can be found right in the app.

Quick Eye Exercises

One recommended exercise is to focus on a blank screen and quickly move your eyes from side to side. You can adjust how long you want this exercise to last in the “Options” area. By default, it’s set for five minutes, but if that’s too long or short for you, you can change it to one, two, three, or even ten minutes!

Full-Screen Breaks

When you start this exercise, Eye Relax will cover your entire desktop with a black screen so you won’t be distracted by any documents or open apps.

Custom Reminders

You can also decide how often you want reminders to take breaks! The options range from every hour up to five hours apart—whatever works best for you.

The 20-20-20 Rule

An eye care tip that many doctors recommend is called the “20-20-20” rule. This means after every 20 minutes of looking at your screen, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. And don’t forget to blink rapidly about 20 times during that time! Taking a quick walk around the room can also help get your blood moving.

A User-Friendly Tool

All in all, Eye Relax is an awesome program that's super helpful for anyone who spends lots of time on their computer. Even if you're not tech-savvy, you'll find it easy to use thanks to its straightforward design.
