While computer work tends to not be physically risky, that doesn't mean you should assume it's not impacting your health. Carpal tunnel and Computer Vision Syndrome are no laughing matter, and it's important to take steps to avoid them.
EyeDefender helps by starting breaks at intervals of your choosing (you choose the length of the break as well).

The training mode is a bit reminiscent of the relaxation portion of Flash Focus for the Nintendo DS.
