4-Minute Quick Reset

Sometimes there is no time for a full routine, but your eyes are already telling you they need a break. The Quick Reset is a 4-minute sequence for exactly those moments: between meetings, after a long video call or before a drive home after work.

It focuses on the three things that help tired eyes the most in a short time. First you look into the distance to let your focusing muscles relax, as in the 20-20-20 exercise. Then you follow a rhythmic blinking cue to spread a fresh tear film over the eye's surface. Finally a brief relaxation, such as palming or slow breathing with closed eyes, helps you release tension in the face and shoulders. Each step is guided with a timer, so you do not have to watch the clock.

You can use the Quick Reset as often as you like, several times a day if you work on screens. It is a comfort tool, not a treatment: it will not change your eyesight, and persistent dryness, pain or blurred vision should be checked by an eye-care professional.
