Protecting your Eye Sight

Your Eyes Are Your Most Valuable Equipment, Don’t Let Them Degrade!

Your eyes are your real-life HUD (Heads-Up Display), they’re the ultra-rare legendary gear that you spawn with and can’t replace at the vendor. It’s time to treat them with the respect they deserve and optimize them for peak performance.

🎯 The Daily Quest Log: Your Eye Health Routine

The 20/20/20 Buff ⏱️

• Every 20 minutes of screen time, shift your gaze to something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This isn’t just some casual advice, it’s a critical buff that prevents the dreaded Screen Fatigue Debuff that stacks over time and absolutely tanks your performance.
  
  
• Pro Tip: Set a timer on your phone or use a desktop reminder.

   

Eagle Vision Training 🦅

• Step outside every hour for 5 minutes (take a walk). Focus on near objects (3-6 feet), then mid-range (20-30 feet), then far distances (horizon), taking in the panoramic view. This trains your eyes’ autofocus system and reduces eye strain from fixed-distance screen viewing.
  
  

Hydration Protocol 💧

• Passive Effect: Maintains tear film integrity Stack Limit
  
  
• Your eyes literally run on water. That tear film protecting your cornea? It’s your natural anti-glare coating that creates a protective barrier with the perfect balance of water, oils, and mucus. Proper hydration keeps this system running – it delivers nutrients to eye tissues, flushes out toxins, and prevents the dreaded dry eye debuff.
  
  
• Pro tip: Keep water at hand; add a pinch of sea salt to assist absorption. If your eyes feel tired, you might just be dehydrated. Coffee and energy drinks actually dehydrate you more, so balance each one with extra water. Your tear film is literally your eyes’ shield.

Natures Water Bottles 🌱💧

Nature’s Water Bottles aren’t just for hydration, fruits and vegetables pack powerful nutrients that keep your eyes sharp and healthy, too. Always, pair with water, fruits/veggies hydrate, but don’t replace your water intake fully.
