Frequently Asked Questions
The 20-20-20 rule is a guideline recommended by eye care professionals to reduce digital eye strain. Every 20 minutes of screen time, you should look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for at least 20 seconds. This gives your eye muscles a chance to relax.
The VUREX Eye Strain Timer counts down a 20-minute work session. When the session ends, you get a sound alert and browser notification reminding you to take a 20-second break. During the break, look at something far away. After the break, the timer automatically restarts for the next cycle.
