I work remotely, and as ZDNET’s deals and shopping editor, I often work a decent amount of odd hours during the year: late nights during major holidays like Black Friday, early mornings during product event days in other countries, and so on. All that’s to say that my eyes take a beating from screen time, blue light exposure, and nitty-gritty writing and editing.
That’s why I was desperate to find anything to help alleviate the discomfort of headaches and eye fatigue. Taking over-the-counter medications doesn’t always cut it, and sometimes, the obvious solutions (more sleep, less stress, etc.) just aren’t feasible. I decided to try Renpho’s Eyeris 2 eye massager after one of my colleagues suggested it, and I was skeptical — but now this niche device is my go-to tool when I feel like my head and eyes are ready to tap out.
Please note that Renpho instructs users to remove any eye accessories before use (eyeglasses, contact lenses, false eyelashes, etc). Renpho also advises against using the Eyeris 2 massager if you have undergone corrective myopia surgery or have eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, etc. If you’re unsure if an eye massager is safe for you, I recommend speaking with your optometrist or ophthalmologist before use.
