.. closing your eyes and placing your palm over it to help it relax is completely FALSE. In you want to relax your eyes from doing all those near work, just LOOK AT FAR. Far meaning, at least 20 feet away from you. Looking at far relaxes the accomodative mechanisms inside your eye.

.. and staring at a green-colored object for eye relaxation is true, since Green is what we call a neutral color, it's the middle of the spectral colors. ROYGBIV. Each color has it's corresponding wavelength and green's wavelength can at times, relax the eyes.
