20-20-20 Screen Rule

for Dry Eyes

Every 20 minutes of screen use, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds, and consciously blink fully.

How it works

Screen use reduces blink rate by up to 60%, causing tear evaporation. Regular breaks and full blinking restores tear distribution and prevents evaporative dry eye.

What to watch for

Requires habit formation and reminders. Screen brightness and glare also contribute — adjust monitor settings and position.
