Take a 20-second blink break every 20 minutes to reduce eye strain. Powered by Pristine Eye Hospitals. BlinkBreak helps you protect your eyes during long screen sessions by guiding you through the 20-20-20 rule, recommended by eye care professionals: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to blink and look at something 20 feet away. HOW IT WORKS • Every 20 minutes, a small BlinkBreak window opens in the top-right corner of your screen with a short, guided break. • Stage 1 — Blink slowly 20 times, with a soft tick and an animated eye icon to help you keep pace. • Stage 2 — Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds, with a calming visual cue. • Confirm you're done and BlinkBreak gets out of your way until the next break — with a small celebration to keep you motivated. • Not at your desk? BlinkBreak checks that you're actually active before interrupting you, and can send a notification if Chrome is minimized. • Need a few more minutes? Snooze any break for 5 minutes with one click. WHY IT MATTERS Staring at screens for hours reduces your blink rate and contributes to digital eye strain and dry eyes. The 20-20-20 rule is a simple, well-known habit that helps reduce that strain.
