New in eyeCure 2.2 Beta (Aug 1, 2012)

New in eyeCure 2.1 Beta (Aug 1, 2012)

  • Change background colors for big windows.
  • The story in background: When I work with computer, due to different visual acuity, my right eye has an exodeviation when I become tired and cannot focus on the angles of my eyes. The exodeviation makes me headache, for many years. My doctor told me that my intermittent exotropia makes the images from two eyes differ and cannot be well merged by brain, which makes me headache. Reminders (big windows) of eyeCure remind me to pay attention to the angle of my eye and to rectify it from time to time. But I got used to the reminders and they do not work any more. I found that reminders with different background colors can make me properly notice wrong angle of my eye. With this change, reminders work again! It could be turned off using switch '-c 0' although I won't recommend that.

New in eyeCure 2.0 Beta (Aug 1, 2012)

  • New single file 'eyeCure.pl' works for both Windows and Linux. Lots of cleaning and improving in the code.
  • New 'README.txt' for both Windows and Linux.

New in eyeCure 1.1 Beta (Aug 4, 2011)

  • Add reminders (big short-time [3 sec] pop-up windows) between big resting windows.
  • To disable it, modify the value of variable '$nreminder' to 1. Or modify this number to change the number of reminders (default: 16).
  • Add 'reopen' feature to 'eyeCure_kill.pl'. That means rerunning the program is immediately after killing it (so by default, after 500 seconds, a big resting window will pop up again). It's now default setting. To disable it, simply add any arguments after 'eyeCure_kill.pl' on command line.
  • Some small modifications.
