Eye Strain occurs when the eyes get tired from intense use. It is usually nothing serious and will go away after rest.

That’s where computer breaks come into play. While it would be possible to schedule breaks on your own some users might prefer an application that tells them when they should take their computer breaks.

Eyes Relax (via Download Squad) is a portable computer program that can prevent eye strain by managing computer breaks for the user.

Work time, break time and notification time are customizable to suite the user’s needs. It is possible to stop the software from running by double-clicking the system tray icon or by extending the work time by five minutes. That’s good news in times when you cannot stop your current work.

Notifications can be configured to be either baloon tips, a blank screen or an image that will be shown once the time for computer breaks arrives.

There is even a parent mode which can be used to password protect the application to make sure that your children will take enough breaks from working with the computer.
