Is there a story behind this? I expected something based on the title.

The story behind 20-20-20 is actually pretty interesting, take a look!

TL;DR: an optometrist came up with it in 1991, to help corporate workers come up with a quick and dirty rule to reduce eye strain. There's no scientific basis behind it (doesn't prevent worsening vision, etc etc)
