Eye training & care

Eye training & care

Pick a quick routine for tired screen-focused eyes. Follow the visual cue without moving your head.

Smooth Pursuit

Follow a moving target with your eyes to practice steady tracking and ease rigid near-focus.

This dedicated page opens straight into smooth pursuit. Use it when your gaze feels locked to a single near point and you want a gentle moving target to follow.

Open training

Saccade

Find a target that jumps across the screen to practice quick visual shifts and scanning.

This dedicated page focuses on fast target reacquisition. Use it when you want to wake up scanning behavior and quicker gaze shifts across the screen.

Use a guided 20-second distance break to interrupt long periods of screen fixation.

What this tool helps you practice

What this tool helps you practice

The goal is simple: interrupt long periods of fixed near-focus and encourage comfortable eye movement patterns.

Track movement smoothly

Smooth pursuit asks you to follow a slow target without moving your head. This can help break up the rigid stare that builds during long desk sessions.

Snap between points

Saccade mode makes you find a target that jumps to new positions. It encourages quicker visual shifts instead of staying locked to one small area on the screen.

Take a true distance break

The 20-20-20 timer reminds you to look at something far away for 20 seconds after long screen use. It is a simple habit that many people find easier to follow with a visible countdown.

How to use the eye trainer

How to use the eye trainer

A short session is usually enough. The idea is consistency, not intensity.

  1. 1

    Choose one mode

    Pick smooth pursuit, saccade, or the 20-20-20 rest timer depending on what kind of reset you want.

  2. 2

    Sit comfortably

    Face the screen, keep your head still, and soften your shoulders. Move only your eyes while following the instructions.

  3. 3

    Finish the short session

    Most training modes run for one minute. The rest mode runs for 20 seconds and guides you to look into the distance.

  4. 4

    Stop if it feels wrong

    This tool should feel gentle. If the movement feels uncomfortable, stop and rest instead of pushing through it.
