[Freeware] FadeTop - a visual break reminder that fades the desktop
Stoic Joker:
One thing that I find works very well is to have your monitor slightly angled -- just a few degrees (say 10 or so). It forces your eyes to change focus.-Renegade (May 09, 2011, 10:25 PM)

You sure about that? It's been awhile since I worked in optical so I can't put number to it of the top of my head. But a 10deg tip of a typical monitor isn't going to impact the focal distance enough to matter. Nor will sitting forward and/or backward in your chair (a considerably longer distance). The problem is the intense fixed gaze that is being maintained for hours at a time. That's what needs to be broken by letting you eyes unfocus and relax for a bit now and then.

It could be entirely coincidence. (Maybe 15 degrees -- haven't measured.)
