Eye care chrome extension that blocks your screen on a schedule with an eye break reminder routine to reduce eye strain. **Give your eyes a real break — on a schedule you control.** Eye Care is a screen-time companion for anyone who spends hours looking at a monitor. On an interval you set, it takes over the screen with a short, guided routine of eye exercises — and it stays up until you either finish the routine or confirm you already did your exercises. No dismissing it with a stray click and forgetting about it. **Why your eyes need this** Staring at a screen for long stretches cuts your blink rate, keeps your focus locked at one distance, and leaves your eye muscles static for hours at a time. That combination is a well-documented driver of digital eye strain (sometimes called computer vision syndrome) — dryness, fatigue, blurred vision, headaches. **7 exercises, chosen for a reason** Each one ships with an honest note on what evidence actually supports it — no miracle claims, no promises to fix your eyesight: - 👁️ **20-20-20 rule** — look into the distance, the most well-supported digital-eye-strain recommendation there is - 👁️ **Deliberate blinking** — rebuilds the tear film that screen use dries out - 👆 **Focus shift, near → far** — a standard accommodation exercise from vision therapy - ⚪ **Horizontal / vertical smooth pursuit** — guided eye-tracking exercises, full range of motion - ⚪ **Circular rotation** and an optional **figure-eight** — classic eye-coordination drills - 🤲 **Palming** — a simple, no-evidence-oversold relaxation technique Every exercise opens with a big "here's what you're about to do" screen and a 10-second countdown, so you actually have time to read the instructions before it starts — with sound cues throughout, so exercises that call for closed eyes (like blinking and palming) still tell you what to do next without looking at the screen. **Built to fit how you actually work** - Set the interval anywhere from 5 to 180 minutes - Pick exactly which exercises are in rotation - Adjust the pace (slower / normal / faster) - Strict mode, so the break can't be casually dismissed with Esc - Snooze 5 minutes when you're mid-task - Works even if every open tab is a `chrome://` page or a blank new tab — it'll open a dedicated tab so the reminder always gets through **Privacy** Eye Care doesn't talk to any server. There's no account, no analytics, no data collection of any kind — your settings and stats live only in your browser's local storage. Available in English, Russian, Spanish, and German.
