Every 10 minutes?! So when you've finally gotten into the flow of whatever you're reading, you're supposed to stop and then try to recapture that state, over and over again. Hmmf.
When I remember, I do try to look away from the computer screen or book during natural breaks in the process, but I usually don't. I read somewhere that it doesn't do anything for eyesight, except way at the beginning when it might be the difference between no prescription and a very weak prescription, but maybe that's where you're at anyway. What it's definitely good for is preventing eyestrain, which just creates discomfort and temporary vision problems, right?
I had a period of time where I couldn't see the chalkboard very well but wasn't bothered by it because I was always drifting off in class anyway and still had all the right answers. I wonder how many Swatties went through years of schooling with problems going undiagnosed because their hampered performance was still better than the unhampered performance of most of their peers.
