What This Best-Selling Eye Massager Reminded Me About Self-Care

As part of the editorial team on this blog, one of the perks I get is to try out any item for myself whenever I need it. When you have at your disposal a collection of several types of smart scale and massager models, among many, it sometimes feels like a wellness haven. 

Neck and shoulder pain due to stress? My go-to device is the RENPHO Massage Gun. Eye fatigue after hours of looking at my computer screen? A RENPHO Eye Massager does the trick as I rest my eyes and relax my body even for just 10 minutes.

Having easy access to these wellness products has led to one of those rare moments where I'm consciously and actively doing self-care, admittedly the least of my priority. One product, in particular, stands out as my favorite: the RENPHO Eyeris 1 Eye Massager. 

While newer and upgraded models like the Eyeris Smart, Eyeris 2, and Eyeris View have their own unique charms, the Eyeris 1 has no doubt won a special place in my heart. 

Why Eyeris 1 is a Modern Classic 

Even without all the latest trappings of newer models, Eyeris 1 continues to be a RENPHO best seller, so I’m glad that I'm not the only one still raving about it even years after its release! 

But what’s not to love about this product? I like how I can choose from any of its 5 massage modes to suit my needs. The “air pressure + heat” mode as well as the “heat only” and “vibration only” options are quick fixes for my tired eyes.   

The “air pressure + heat + vibration” is best for melting away the stress of the day and helping lull me to sleep. 

Out of all the modes, the “air pressure only” is hands down my favorite. It’s my go to mode for everything, from when my strained eyes demand a break from my computer screen down to when I need a quick pampering session. 

Another thing to like about Eyeris 1 is the strong massage pressure that can soothe not only my eyes but my entire body as well. The pressure makes me feel so relaxed that I could easily fall asleep while sitting in my chair.  

Additionally, Eyeris 1 is one of the smart models that is Bluetooth enabled. The Bluetooth connectivity adds to my overall massage experience by allowing me to connect the eye massager to my phone and stream my own playlist without hassle. 

The fact that it’s lightweight and portable also allows me to take it home. For someone who struggles to catch some quality Z’s, Eyeris 1 has proved to be helpful to my pre-bed ritual for a restful sleep. 

Nighttime Routine  

I’ve made sure to use Eyeris 1 twice throughout the day, once in the afternoon at the office and once before going to bed at night.

Nighttime eye massage using Eyeris 1 is especially the best. Sprawled on my bed, my routine starts with me putting the device on and adjusting the strap to find the right, comfortable fit. When everything is good and ready, my at-home eye massage session begins. 

The device is easy to turn on or off even without a remote control (although there’s a separate Eyeris 1 model that comes with one). 

It is powered on or off by pressing the big button on the side of the device. With shorter presses of the same button, I can flick between various modes. 

There’s a combination of air pressure, heat, vibration, and music to help create a soothing remedy for tired bodies and minds. The device’s six smart bags help target key acupoints around the eyes, making me feel relaxed overall.  

I can also leave the eye massager on without worry even if I end up sleeping, as the device is equipped with an auto-off timer.

I appreciate the simplicity of using Eyeris 1 — and any other Eyeris eye massager for that matter, as it encourages me to incorporate it into my routine with little to no prep time.

Best Gift to Myself

Beyond using Eyeris 1 — or other RENPHO products — it proves how one with commitment can and should always find time for one’s wellness.

Since the eye massagers are so accessible, it has made me more motivated to rest and treat my eyes with a quick massage if fatigue is setting in.

But it’s just the first step. Consistently taking a break no matter how short has had a profound impact on my well-being. These small, regular moments of respite can accumulate to create a positive difference in my overall health and, hopefully, in my outlook on life.

It is not an earth-shattering realization, but it serves as a timely reminder that in the midst of work and other commitments, rest is still possible. Sometimes, I forget this simple truth, yet it's one of the most precious and rewarding gifts I can give myself and have discovered along the way.
