Protect your vision
A free Chrome extension for digital eye strain relief. Blocks your screen on a schedule and guides a short, evidence-based eye routine built around the 20-20-20 rule.
A full-screen overlay you can't casually click away — it stays up until you finish the routine or confirm you already did it.
20-20-20 rule, deliberate blinking, focus shifts, smooth pursuit, palming — each with a plain note on what science actually backs it.
5–180 minute interval, adjustable pace, strict mode, snooze, and control over exactly which exercises run.
No account, no server, no analytics. Your settings and stats never leave your browser.
Staring at a screen drops your blink rate by roughly half and locks your eyes at a fixed focal distance for long stretches — the two biggest drivers of digital eye strain (also called computer vision syndrome). Symptoms show up as dryness, blurred vision, headaches, and eye fatigue after long work or study sessions.
Eye Care is a lightweight Chrome extension that treats the cause, not just the symptom: on a schedule you set (5–180 minutes), it blocks the screen with a full-screen reminder and walks you through a short routine — starting with the 20-20-20 rule (look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds), then deliberate blinking, near/far focus shifts, and guided eye-movement exercises. Each exercise notes plainly what evidence actually backs it, so you're not guessing.
Unlike generic timer or screen-lock extensions, Eye Care is purpose-built for eye health: it runs entirely in your browser, stores nothing on a server, and never collects analytics or personal data — the reminder logic and your settings never leave your machine.
Every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Eye Care enforces this automatically with a full-screen reminder, so you don't have to remember it yourself.
Regular short breaks are the best-supported way to reduce digital eye strain: look at a distant object (the 20-20-20 rule), blink deliberately since screen focus reduces blink rate, and periodically shift focus between near and far objects. Eye Care runs this routine for you on a timer.

No. Eye Care has no server and no analytics. Your settings and stats are stored locally in your browser via chrome.storage and never leave your device.
Yes, by default. You can snooze a break for a few minutes or dismiss it once you confirm you've already done your exercises. Strict mode can be enabled in settings to disable early dismissal for a stronger reminder.
