Lifemax Compact Eye Massager

£59.99

In a world where we’re always behind a screen, whether it be at work, scrolling social media, or catching up on your favourite show, the constant strain on our eyes is becoming increasingly evident. I know that I’ve been left with headaches after a particularly long day at work when I forget to take screen breaks. However, aside from avoiding screens, I’ve not known how to manage this tension, that was until I got to test out the Lifemax Compact Eye Massager.

The Compact Eye Massager, created by Lifemax, is designed to deliver gentle massage therapy via FAR infrared heat and air-pressure to soothe your eyes and help to relieve tension headaches. Straight out of the box, I was impressed with just how lightweight and soft the eye massager was. The mask features a soft padded surface which sits across your eyes and bridge of the nose, whilst the exterior is made from black plastic and has a stretchy back headband. Whilst wearing the Eye Massager, it felt super comfortable, as the entire thing is so lightweight and does not feel heavy on your face – ideal for trying to reduce stress and pressure.

To turn the Eye Massager on, you just hold the power button down a few seconds, and you can then choose your preferred mode. The Eye Massager turns on in the automatic mode by default, designed to provide both air pressure and a heat massage accompanied by water sounds. However, with a single press of the power button, you can click through to the dynamic mode, which provides just an air pressure massage, with the sound of the ocean, and then another click moves to the sleeping mode which provides a FAR infrared heat massage accompanied by bird song. These modes allow you to pick your preferred mode, whether it be for heat or pressure, as well as the various noise modes, each one lasting for 10 minutes. One nice touch is that you can double click the power button during any of the modes to turn off any accompanying sounds if they are not helping you to relax.  

Each setting is designed to encourage blood flow to help soothe eyes and relieve tension caused by eye strain whilst encouraging relaxation with a range of nature sounds. I wondered how the heat would feel, and whether it would feel too hot or a little uncomfortable. However, the heat and pressure together felt super relaxing, almost like a hug across my eyes, instantly making them feel calmer and more relaxed. The pressure did take a little getting used to as the Eye Massager across your eyes can feel a little strange at first, but it is so gentle that the pressure felt nice and comforting. 

One of the best aspects of the Eye Massager is that it is designed to be compact and so can be folded neatly in half and taken with you on the go. This would be a game changer for work trips, when spending hours working behind a laptop to relieve stress or screen-induced headaches and eye pain to help you remain productive and ready to go.

If you experience frequent tension headaches or eye strain, the Lifemax Compact Eye Massager provides an efficient, on-the-go relief solution that is designed to help you relax. With its lightweight design, you can experience the benefits of heat and pressure therapy, all in a comfortable massaging eye mask. This would make a great self-care gift for yourself or a loved one to encourage relaxation and help relieve eye pain and headaches no matter where you are.
