## What is Restio?

Restio protects your eyes from digital eye strain using the doctor-recommended 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Whether you work at a screen all day or scroll late into the night, Restio is the intelligent eye rest companion your eyes have been waiting for.
WHAT IS THE 20-20-20 RULE?
Every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Ophthalmologists worldwide recommend it to reduce eye strain, dry eyes, and headaches caused by prolonged screen use. Restio makes it effortless.
