What it means

Longer screen stretches can leave your eyes feeling tired or dry by the end of the day. This is usually temporary.

What helps

Regular breaks (the 20-20-20 rule), a comfortable distance, larger text and good lighting. If discomfort persists, see an eye-care professional.

Educational only: this check describes your habits, not your eyes. It isn't a diagnosis or an eye exam.

🔭

Fixed Focus Distance

Looking at one distance (about 20 inches) for hours keeps your focusing muscles working. Afterward, refocusing on things farther away can feel slow for a moment.

📉

Blink Rate Drop

People tend to blink less often while concentrating on a screen, which can leave eyes feeling dry, gritty or irritated.

💡

Glare and Small Text

Glare, low contrast and small text can make screen reading feel more tiring.

Where Visionary Fits (and Where It Doesn't)

Visionary is a few minutes a day of visual exercises with Gabor patches and other patterns, which is also screen time. It isn't a treatment for eye strain, and it doesn't replace breaks, good lighting or an eye exam. If you're curious about contrast practice, the free demo shows what it's like.
