The 20-20-20 Rule
The 20-20-20 rule is a guideline to reduce eye strain caused by staring at screens for extended periods. It suggests that for every 20 minutes spent looking at a screen, you should take a 20-second break and focus your eyes on something at least 20 feet away.
Benefits
- Reduces Eye Strain: Regular breaks help prevent eye fatigue and strain caused by prolonged screen time.
- Improves Focus: Taking short breaks can help maintain focus and productivity throughout the day.
- Prevents Dry Eyes: Looking away from the screen allows your eyes to blink more frequently, reducing the risk of dry eyes.
- Promotes Eye Health: Focusing on distant objects helps relax eye muscles and reduce the risk of developing vision-related issues.
