Using Eye Massagers
We have all experienced eye fatigue caused by extensive use of computers or from long periods of driving, studying, and watching TV. Sleeping can reduce eye fatigue but during the day, most of us don’t have the time or luxury to be able to sleep at our leisure.
A practical alternative to relieving eye fatigue is the Eye Massager. The eye massager can alleviate eye fatigue caused by computer use, driving, watching TV, and reading.
An eye massager is lightweight, portable, easy to use, and inexpensive. It can be used anytime at home, at work, or during travel. Simply wrap the eye pad around your eyes and head with the velcro strap and press the power button to receive a soothing air pressure or vibration massage on the eyes. Some eye massagers emit heat and others use biomagnetics to further enhance eye relaxation.
How does an Eye Massager work for you?
With advances in technology, eye massagers feature many different settings for massage type, massage intensity, heat level, and negative ion emission.
The human touch finger massage around your eyes is simulated by the different air pressure modes of an eye massager. This air pressure enhances blood circulation in your eyes, which alleviates eye tension and fatigue right away. In addition, vibration massage modes will allow you to enjoy a relaxing and soothing experience in the eyes.
Traditional Chinese medicine uses heat therapy to help enhance blood circulation. Heat therapy for eyes can improve blood circulation in the eye and relax eye muscles.
Magnetic eye massagers involve biomagnetics, crystals, and acupressure points around the eyes and face to increase blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and improve skin condition and appearance.
Easy to Use!
Eye massagers are worn like regular glasses with a flexible velcro strap that secures on the back of your head (one size fits all). An eye massage session should last anywhere from 5 – 15 minutes (don’t use it for more than 15 minutes a session). If you have any health concerns, always consult your doctor before using an eye massager.

Future Contact Lenses
Imagine wearing contact lenses that monitor the health of your eyes in addition to giving you perfect vision. Better still, how about a contact lens that displays everything from your location (using GPS) to the time and weather? Is it possible to have bionic contact lenses that allow for telescopic vision? It would be very cool to walk down the aisle of a drugstore to find BionicVue Contact Lenses for sale!
The above scenarios may still be fictional up to now but there are some amazing advances in contact lens technology that are being developed and may soon be available to everyone.
Presently, contact lens researchers are developing a contact lens that will automatically focus using liquid crystals and a built-in range finder. The system consists of a contact lens, liquid crystals attached to the lens, a view detector that communicates with the liquid crystals, and an external power source.
The view detector will use either lasers, radio waves, or microwaves to judge the distance from the object being viewed by the user. The researchers don’t explain where the power is coming from or how the viewfinder will judge distances. This project is still a work in progress so hopefully we will see a working model soon.
At the University of Florida, researchers have developed “drug loaded” contact lenses that deliver medication at certain intervals. These contact lenses were developed for people that have glaucoma or other serious eye diseases. These lenses contain drug filled “nanoparticles” that release medication slowly into the eyes. The advantage of these lenses is that the medication from the lenses go directly into the eye whereas eye drops go mostly into the bloodstream.

Hi,
Just a heads up to all you long term contact lens wearers; I have been wearing contact lenses for the past 25 years and a couple of months ago my eyes developed a condition known as ‘keratitis’. Keratitis is when your cornea is infected & scratched from either dirty contact lenses or over wearing of contact lenses.
In my case, it was over wearing of contact lenses resulting in a scratched cornea in both eyes and my vision was very blurred for almost two weeks. Fortunately, my vision was completely restored after using antibiotic eyedrops for 3 weeks. My eye doctor has given me the go ahead to wear contact lenses again but from now on, I only wear contacts when I play sports and when I’m not playing sports, I’m very happy to wear glasses.
True, laser eye surgery is an option to get rid of the glasses & contacts but I actually don’t mind wearing glasses and wearing contacts less frequently. I’m just curious about the experience of other people that have had contact lens related keratitis like I did.
Cheers,
Cyclops
