I didn't know the 20-20-20 rule, so I just looked it up, and second it. Every few years I need a number of orthoptist appointments for reeducation, and at the end she gives me a picture with symmetrical figures on a dotted ground. When I am in front of my computer, I'm supposed to regularly stop and, holding the picture at the end of my arm, look at a point farther away above it, and concentrate until I see a third figure in the middle of each row. So yes, I would appreciate the reminder option. I'd probably choose longer than 20 minutes for a reader, which is much less stressful for the eyes than a computer screen.
