A free software tool helping protect your vision when using digital screens by reminding breaks, exercises & adjusting screen settings for better eye health
Care your Eyes is a free cross-platform software application designed to promote healthy computer and device usage habits to protect your vision.
It runs quietly in the background while you work and uses notifications and alerts to remind you to take regular short breaks from looking at screens, do simple eye relaxation exercises, blink more often, and adjust your screen brightness/contrast. This helps prevent or reduce eyed strain, headaches, blurry vision, and other symptoms of computer vision syndrome.
Care your Eyes allows you to customize reminders and set goals for how often to take breaks based on recommendations from optometrists. You can log your screen time and eye breaks to monitor your habits. It also includes tutorials and tips for proper workstation ergonomics, screen positioning, lighting adjustment, font sizes, and other ways to create a more eye-friendly environment.
The software is free, open source, and available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. It was designed by health professionals and expert computer users to make it easy to care for your eyes while working long hours with computers, phones, tablets and other screens.
