EyeDefender

EyeDefender is a necessary piece of software designed to help prevent Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), which can result from long hours spent working on a computer. This freeware rest reminder sits in your system tray and displays the time left until your next break.

When it's finally time to take a break, this program provides the user with a variety of options to help them relax. Whether it's displaying pictures from a predefined folder or running visual training exercises for the eyes, EyeDefender ensures that you're giving your eyes a rest. You can also choose to run a default screensaver, or have the program display a popup reminder in your system tray.

EyeDefender isn't just focused on preventing CVS, though. It can help prevent other computer-related issues such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and Occupational Overuse Syndrome (OOS), better known as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) in the US or Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) in Europe. Overall, EyeDefender is a fantastic piece of software for anyone looking to improve their health and wellbeing while working on a computer.
