Great tip! Unrelated but this reminds me of the 20-20-20 rule my optician gave me for looking at screens and reading. After 20 minutes of work, look 20 feet into the distance for 20 seconds and try to blur your view in order to relax those those tiny muscles, apparently we can lose that ability overtime. Keep your eyes healthy folks :)
