A Google Chrome extension that will help you avoid eye strain when browsing your computer.
There are many Chrome extensions that help us improve our productivity when we are in front of the computer. But sometimes we forget to take a break from the screen.
To avoid these situations, we also have some add-ons that remind us to take a break and rest our eyes.
EyeCare is a Google Chrome extension that will remind you to take a break from the screen, and avoid eye strain by following the 20-20-20 rule.
According to this rule, you are expected to take a 20-second break every 20 minutes. During this time, look at anything placed 20 feet away from you.
So by default the extension is set to show reminders every 20 minutes, but you can set it to any time interval you see fit. When that time comes, you'll see the extension show you a series of reminders with some suggestions.
For example, he will suggest that you close your eyes for a moment, or move them vertically, circularly and horizontally. And if you want to follow the 20-20-20 rule, you will have to look out the window for a few seconds, for example. And of course, he will also suggest that you get up from your seat and move around during the break.
And if you are only interested in reminders to step away from the screen, but do not want them to remind you of exercises, you can disable them without any problems. You will see that the settings section of the extension offers you several options to customize its dynamics.
And don't worry, it won't close any tabs you have open in your browser when the time comes, nor will it paralyze your browsing process. It will simply open the reminder. If you have to continue your task on your computer, you can ignore the reminder.
