Eye Reliever 3

Welcome to Eye Reliever, an application designed to promote healthy screen habits. In today's digital age, the increased use of screens for work and leisure activities has led to an uptick in Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) symptoms such as dry eyes, eye strain, headaches, and blurry vision. The 20-20-20 Rule serves as a practical guideline to alleviate these symptoms; this rule recommends taking a 20-second break from staring at screens every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away and blink regularly.

While adhering to the 20-20-20 Rule may sound simple, the reality is that it can be challenging to remember to take these essential breaks amidst our digital tasks. The Eye Reliever app offers a convenient solution by providing a custom looping clock that signals when it's time to pause. Users only need to start the timer and wait for the alerts: a gentle sound notifies you when it's time for a break and again when it's time to resume screen time.

The Eye Reliever app aims to combat two primary issues associated with excessive screen use: dry eyes and eye strain. Reduced blinking rates during intense screen focus can lead to dry eyes due to tear film degradation. The app helps by reminding users to take breaks and blink frequently, preventing eye discomfort. Additionally, prolonged screen engagement strains the eye muscles responsible for focus adjustments at close distances. By encouraging breaks where users look away or close their eyes briefly, the app assists in relaxing these muscles and reducing strain, fatigue, and potential headaches.

In conclusion, Eye Reliever facilitates adherence to the 20-20-20 Rule endorsed by reputable organizations like the American Optometric Association (AOA) and the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO).
