Eye Care Starting

Home Back Next

Run the program. It will appear in the System Tray with the greeting message.

Now you can do 3 types of actions with the program icon.

1. Place the cursor over the icon and stop for a moment. You will see solid time and total time you work at the computer.



If solid time value exceeds some one you defined in settings then you will need to do a break or eye gymnastics. When you take a break or do eye gymnastics this time is decreased. Total time of work today only accumulates time you spend at the computer. It is not counted when you have a break, doing eye gymnastics or your computer (or user session) is off.

2. Click twice by left mouse button on the program icon. You will get to Monitoring dialog window.

3. Click once by right mouse button on the program icon.



You will see the popup menu where you can:
- Have a break.
- Do Eye Gymnastics (see Eye Gymnastics dialog window).
- Open the main program window (see Monitoring dialog window). This is equal to the action described in point 2.
- Exit the program.

If you disable eye gymnastics in Care settings you will see this menu variant:



After running the program you really do not have to do anything else. Just work and the program will remember you when to do eye gymnastics or have a break (what you prefer or the both one by one). There are some default setting defined that can be corrected when ever you want.

When you are having a break (the screen saver performs) the counted solid time of work is decreased. 1 minute of break time subtracts 1 - N minutes defined in Care settings.
