I had eye surgery recently and am so glad that I got a second chance with my eyes. I developed this APP to promote a more healthy habit of eye usage. (Rest for 20 seconds for every 20 minutes of eye usage by looking at objects 20 feet away) Features: - Send notification to take break and to rest your eyes during work - Track your eye usage history - Three modes to choose from depending how you use your eyes 1) 20:20:20 Use eyes for 20 minutes, rest for 20 seconds by looking at objects 20 feet away. This is recommended when you are working/reading near a window. 2) 60:05 Use eyes for 60 minutes (1 hour), rest for 5 minutes. This is recommended when you are doing something that cannot be interrupted too frequently. 3) 120:15 Use eyes for 120 minutes (2 hours), take a break for 15 minutes. This is recommended when your work requires concentration for an extended period of time.

[Relax Eyes]: Use the 20-20-20 rule, a scientific method to relieve eye strain As an internet industry worker, I stare at screens for over 10 hours every day. To find a better way to relieve eye fatigue, I learned about the 20-20-20 rule. To easily remind myself to rest my eyes, this app was born. If you have the same need, I hope this app can help you too. Every 20 minutes of work, look 20 feet (about 6 meters) into the distance for 20 seconds to effectively reduce eye strain. The [Relax Eyes] app follows this principle, reminding you to take timed breaks to protect your eye health.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Eye Protector at none against Relax Eyes's shown. Eye Protector also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Relax Eyes's advantage is ratings volume (187 vs 3) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
