Using a 3D eye massager is simple, but following a specific routine will help you get the best results for dark circles and strain while keeping your eyes safe.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Preparation
Cleanse Your Face: Wash your face to remove dirt and oils.
Remove Accessories: Always take off glasses, contact lenses, and hairpins.
Apply Eye Cream (Optional): If you are targeting dark circles, apply a small amount of eye cream or serum first. The massager's heat helps the skin absorb the product better.
2. Positioning the Device
Place the device over your eyes and adjust the elastic headband. It should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight against your eyeballs.
Ensure the "3D" cushions are resting on the orbital bone (the bony ridge around your eyes) and your temples.
3. Operating the Massager
Power On: Most devices require holding the power button for 3 seconds.
Select Mode: Cycle through the modes (usually called Sleep, Med, or Hard).
For Dark Circles: Use a mode with Heat + Air Pressure.
For Eye Strain: Use a mode with Vibration + Air Pressure.
Duration: Most devices have an auto-timer for 15 minutes. This is the ideal session length.
4. Post-Massage
Rest: When you take the device off, your vision may be slightly blurry for 1–2 minutes due to the gentle pressure. This is normal; just keep your eyes closed for a moment.
Clean: Wipe the inner fabric or silicone with a dry cloth or a slightly damp alcohol wipe to keep it hygienic.
Important Safety Tips
Eyes Closed: Always keep your eyes closed during the entire session.
Start Low: If your device has intensity settings, always start with the lowest air pressure to see how your eyes feel.
Medical Warning: Do not use this device if you have had eye surgery (like LASIK), cataracts, glaucoma, or a detached retina without consulting your doctor first.
Recommended Frequency
For Dark Circles: Use once daily, preferably at night before bed.
For Eye Strain: Use for 5–10 minutes during a "screen break" or after work.
