Dr. Wendie Trubow explains the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Staring at a nearby wall won't work. Position your desk by a window so your eyes have a far focal point to rest on.

Someone who's an ophthalmologist, say, every like 15 minutes, look beyond your screen, look 20ft out, just so that you're reminding the eyes to look differently so that you're not hyper focused on this thing right in front of you. So keep looking out when. So I do, like, even when I'm recording, I'm like, oh, okay, when you're talking, I'm gonna look over there.
Yeah, we call that. That's great. We call that our 20, 20, 20 rule. So exactly what you said. Every 20 minutes, three for 20 seconds, look 20ft or just far away. So, you know, a lot of us work from home now, so, I mean, that's a big, big wave. So when you're set up in your room and your desk should be close to a window so that you can look outside, and your window usually has a far distance, and that's. That's important because you are resting your muscles versus looking up close. If you're going from your computer to your wall, which is only like 2ft away, that doesn't make a difference, right?
