The 20-20-20 rule is designed to be an easy to remember caution about doing too much near work and to give your eyes a break from eye strain regularly. This rule is supported by conventional optometry[1][2] and is a start towards the EM method.
- Every 20 minutes
- Look at something 20 feet away (6 meters)
- For at least 20 Seconds
Endmyopia recommends even more breaks.
- Every 20 minutes, take a 5 minute break.[3]

- As you develop Strain Awareness you can customize your break schedule to your needs.
