Eye Protector App from Computer Screen time Extension

Protect your eyes and reduce digital strain with the Eye Protector App! Designed to promote healthier screen habits, this Chrome extension gently reminds you to take a break every 20 minutes, encouraging you to look away and rest your eyes.

The 20-20-20 rule is a simple and effective guideline to help reduce digital eye strain caused by prolonged screen use. It suggests that every 20 minutes, you should take a 20-second break to look at something at least 20 feet away.

Health Benefits: Helps reduce eye strain, improve focus, and support overall eye health during prolonged computer use.
Stay productive while keeping your eyes healthy. Install the Eye Protector extension today!

Note: This app is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult an eye care professional for persistent issues.

***History***
The rule was introduced by Dr. Jeffrey Anshel, an optometrist, as part of his efforts to address the growing issue of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This condition arises from extended computer or device usage, which can lead to symptoms like eye strain, dryness, blurred vision, and headaches.

Dr. Anshel created the rule as an easy-to-remember solution for modern screen users, emphasizing that brief, frequent breaks can alleviate the strain on our eyes and support long-term eye health.

***Rules of the 20-20-20 Rule***
Every 20 Minutes: Set a timer or use a reminder tool to pause your screen-focused tasks regularly.
Look at Something 20 Feet Away: Shift your gaze to a distant object outside or across the room. The distance relaxes the focusing muscles of your eyes, reducing fatigue.
For 20 Seconds: Give your eyes sufficient time to rest and reset. This brief break can make a significant difference.

***Benefits***
Reduces eye fatigue and dryness.
Prevents focus lock caused by staring at close-up screens.
Supports better productivity and concentration over long hours.
By following the 20-20-20 rule, you can protect your vision and maintain healthier screen habits.
