For tired, screen-strained eyes
Reset your eyes.
A full day of screens leaves your eyes dry, achy, and hard to focus. EyeReset gives them guided breaks and evidence-based exercises — right on your iPhone — so you feel better by the end of the day.
It's not you — it's the screens
A full day of screens is one of the most common causes of digital eye strain. Here's what's actually happening to your eyes.
You blink about half as much
Locked onto a screen, your blink rate drops — so your eyes dry out and start to feel gritty.
Your focus is stuck up close
Hours at one near distance tire the muscles that focus your eyes, leaving them achy and slow to refocus.
Glare and brightness pile on
Harsh lighting and mismatched screen brightness make your eyes work harder still.

How EyeReset works
EyeReset builds the 20-20-20 rule into a gentle timer, then layers in short guided exercises for convergence, focusing, and dry-eye relief — the categories eye care professionals commonly discuss for screen-related strain. Pick a session length, follow the on-screen cues, and get back to work with your eyes reset.
EyeReset's break timing and exercise categories are informed by publicly available guidance from the American Academy of Ophthalmology, research from the Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial (CITT), and the TFOS DEWS II report on dry eye. EyeReset is a wellness tool, not a medical device — it does not diagnose, treat, or cure any eye condition. If you have persistent eye pain or vision changes, see an eye care professional.
