What’s ProtectYourVision.org

ProtectYourVision.org is a free online application aimed at protecting eyes from a Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

What’s CVS?
Around 70% people in developed countries experience eye discomfort and vision problems when viewing a computer screen for more than 2 hour daily. The level of discomfort appears to increase with the amount of computer use.
The most common symptoms of CVS are:

•    Eyestrain
•    Headaches
•    Blurred vision
•    Dry, irritated eyes
•    Double vision
•    Difficulty refocusing the eyes
•    Neck and shoulder pain

If any of these sounds familiar to you it’s about time to take care of your eyes.

How to use?
Switch on your personal eyes assistant (EVO) every time when your’re going to use computer for more than 2 hour. Simply go to www.protectyourvision.org website and click “Start EVO”.

You can choose between 3 different modes:
  1. 20-20-20:  After every 20 min spent in front of a computer a 20 sec break is signalized, in this time focus the eyes on an object 20 feet (6 meters) away, or just close your eyes.
  2. 60-5:  After every hour spent in front of a computer a 5 min break is signalized with a sound alarm.
  3. Custom:  Define by yourself break's frequency and length. By default: after every hour spent in front of a computer a 5 min break is signalized with a sound alarm.
Find out which mode suits you.  During the break avert your eyes from a computer screen, close them or do eyes gymnastics.
