Screen overuse can result in eye strain, dry eyes, headaches, fatigue, blurred vision or loss of focus.  The American Optometric Association encourages tech users to follow the 20-20-20 rule: at least every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. This app will alert you when to take your 20-20-20 break.  Available for free with in-app purchases and download through the App Store and iTunes Store here.
