Overview
Daily tools to reduce screen-induced eye strain and train eye coordination.
What's inside
- Break Timer — 20-20-20 rule with blink reminders.
- Smooth Pursuit — follow a moving target (head still).
- Saccades — jump your eyes between targets.
- Vergence — converge/diverge training (the core of binocular-vision therapy).
- Near/Far Focus — accommodation shifting.
How to use it
- Sit at your normal screen distance, head still unless told otherwise.
- Start with 2–3 minutes per exercise, once or twice a day.
- It should feel like mild effort, never pain.
- Wear your prescribed glasses unless your doctor says otherwise.
- Consistency beats intensity.

Guided Vision-Therapy Program
A structured ~12-minute session built around convergence training + accommodative relaxation — matched to near exophoria / convergence insufficiency (drift worse up close).
The session
- Accommodative warm-up — near/far focus shifts (relaxes the spasm). 90s
- Pencil push-ups (NPC) — bring a target slowly toward your nose, keep it single. 2 min
- Smooth convergence — fuse two dots as they slowly separate. 2.5 min
- Vergence jumps — re-fuse rapidly as separation steps in/out. 2 min
- Brock string (physical) — guided instructions for the at-home string drill. 2 min
- Cooldown — distance gaze + blinking. 60s
Progress & Symptom Tracker
Rate your symptoms each day (0 = none, 4 = severe). Tracks the same dimensions an eye-comfort assessment uses, so you can show your optometrist real before/after data.

Break Timer (20-20-20)
Every 20 minutes, look at something ~20 feet away for 20 seconds. Reduces accommodative strain.
Ready
Smooth Pursuit Tracking
Keep your head still and follow the dot with your eyes only.
Tip: chin steady, neck relaxed. Only your eyes move. Blink normally.
Saccades
Snap your eyes between targets as they appear. Trains fast, accurate fixation jumps.
Move only your eyes, as quickly and accurately as you can, to each new target.
Vergence Training
The two dots split apart and come together. Fuse them into one. This trains convergence/divergence — the core deficit behind most screen-strain headaches.
When fused correctly you'll perceive a single dot in the middle (with a faint one on each side). Hold it steady as they move.
Near / Far Focus Shifting
Alternate focus between a near point (your fingertip ~30cm away) and a far point across the room. Trains accommodation flexibility.
Press start. Hold a finger up near your nose for the "NEAR" cue.
Dry Eye & Blink Training
Screen use cuts your blink rate by more than half, and many people blink incompletely — a major cause of dryness, watering, and burning. This trains slow, complete blinks.
Press start. Follow the prompt: close gently & fully, pause, then open.
Dry-eye comfort tips (general wellness)
- Complete blinks — fully close; a half-blink leaves the lower cornea exposed.
- 20-20-20 — use the Break Timer; looking away relaxes focus and prompts blinking.
- Screen below eye level — a downward gaze narrows the eye opening and slows evaporation.
- Humidify & avoid direct airflow — fans/AC/vents blowing at your face dry the eyes fast.
- Preservative-free artificial tears are commonly used for screen dryness — but ask your eye doctor what's right for you, especially after LASIK.
Watering is often the eye's reflex response to dryness — treating dryness frequently reduces the tearing too. Persistent symptoms need a professional exam.
