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
My colleague, Allison Murray, owns the Eyeris 1 massagerand finds it helpful for her headaches and migraines. She says it’s an excellent gift for friends and family members. After her recommendation, I tried it for myself. I entered the experience with an open mind, but I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting to find much use for an eye massager, let alone that it would make a noticeable difference.

The whole concept felt like a gimmick to me — the kind of product you would see on early 2000s infomercials after you woke up on the couch at 2 a.m., somewhere between the ads for the Betty Crocker Bake ‘n Fill pan and Tony Little’s Gazelle.
But I was pleasantly surprised.

It also features a rechargeable battery that Renpho claims lasts approximately one week of moderate daily use. I don’t use mine daily, but I don’t find myself needing to charge very often, although that will depend on how long you use the device and how frequently.

The Renpho Eyeris 2 does that for me.
