Came across a nice little windows program today, runs in the systray and can help to stop your eyes from getting fucked up if you spend too much time infront of a computer.

You can set how often it should remind you to take a break, how long that break will be, and if your screen is going to have a flowery picture on it, or as I prefer some eye training animations that get your eyes to move around and adjust focus for a while.

Mine is set to do its thing every 45 minutes and give me two minutes of moving my eyes around and adjusting focus. Hopefully this will hold off the need for glasses for a while longer!.

To get it so you get eye training instead of a pretty picture, right click the icon in the systray (the little icons in the bottom right of your screen), click on settings  then under where it says notifications, select “start the visual training”.
