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.
Requires habit formation and reminders. Screen brightness and glare also contribute — adjust monitor settings and position.
Strong mechanistic evidence. Reduced blink rate during screen use is well documented. The 20-20-20 rule is universally recommended by ophthalmology bodies.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
