Look Up for OS X will take care of your eyes after prolonged use

If the computer is really so much affect vision as I was told as a child, I would have been blind. However, due to the ongoing work at the computer, my eyes still sits down and, unfortunately, I have almost nothing I can do about it. I had not seen applications that monitor so that you do breaks for the eyes in work. Look Up makes it, moreover based on scientifically proven facts.

Look Up works on the principle of 20-20-20. This principle is recommended by the National Institute of Ophthalmology and The Mayo Clinic - a highly influential network of US clinics. He is as follows:

Every 20 minutes, you need to distract from the screen for 20 seconds and look 20 feet away.

20 feet equal to six meters, that is the best option - to look out the window. The application is in the status menu, and divides the rest of your work at 20-minute intervals. After each of them a notification appears on the screen that you need to take a break. At the expiration of twenty seconds, the screen will turn blue and you hear a beep - this means that you can start working again.

If you are not ready to stop working, you can postpone the rest for two minutes. Or on the contrary, begin to rest right now.

Look Up for sale with 50% discount and is now worth 59 rubles. The developers plan to extend the functionality of the application. The plans to add goals and stretching for the back. I'm not entirely sure of the effectiveness of the rules of 20-20-20 - it should be studied better. But if it works, then 59 rubles - this is not the price for your eye health.
