Retinal Tear Incident: In October 2025, a netizen with -4.25D left and -5.00D right myopia, after frequent use of a high-temperature high-frequency vibrating eye massager, experienced floaters and black spots, diagnosed with right eye retinal tear.

Dr. Leng Yunxia from Guangzhou First People's Hospital pointed out that high-frequency vibration or physical pressure from eye massagers exerts external force on the eyeball, exacerbating vitreous traction on the fragile retina, directly leading to tears.

High-risk contraindicated groups: High myopia (≥600D or axial length >26mm), history of retinal tear/detachment, recent eye surgery, glaucoma, active intraocular inflammation, eye trauma or tumors.

Fascia Gun Causes Lens Dislocation: The Ophthalmology Department of Harbin Medical University First Hospital has treated multiple cases of lens dislocation caused by using fascia guns on the eyes. Professor Zhang Hong treated an elderly patient whose high-frequency vibration caused lens opacity, partial zonular rupture, phacodonesis, and subluxation, requiring surgery.

57-year-old woman blindness case: A 57-year-old woman used a vibrating massager for 15 minutes daily for a month, resulting in right eye rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and blindness. Another high myopia patient used it only twice and suffered complete lens dislocation with acute glaucoma.

In October 2024, Zhejiang Consumer Council commissioned third-party testing of 20 popular eye massagers, covering brands like Aox, Supor, Xiaomi, OGAWA, Panasonic, PGG, Philips, priced from ¥100 to ¥900.

Tests: Electrical safety and massage efficacy (300 uses by healthy subjects aged 20-53 to measure asthenopia relief).

Non-compliant products: PGG Smart Moisturizing Eye Massager and BLAUPUNKT Hot/Cold Air Pressure Eye Massager failed internal wiring standards.

Medical experts recommend optimal heat therapy temperature: ~42℃.

Eye exercises are based on TCM tuina and meridian theory, stimulating acupoints such as Tianying, Jingming, Sibai, and Taiyang to improve blood circulation, metabolism, and tear secretion.

Five key benefits: Relieve eye fatigue, prevent myopia, improve blood circulation, prevent dry eye, promote overall health.

Beijing Tongren Hospital experts Dr. Song Hongxin and Dr. Wei Wenbin: Eye exercises can relieve asthenopia and slow myopia progression, but cannot treat or reverse true myopia.

Dry eye improvement data: After 4 weeks of use, tear break-up time increased by 2.3 seconds on average, basal tear secretion increased by 18%.

40-45℃ heat therapy melts meibum and unblocks meibomian glands. Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital research: proper use of massagers can achieve 60-70% of the effect of manual eye exercises.

Four core technology paths: Air pressure massage, heat therapy temperature control, micro-nano atomization, multi-tech integration.

Important reminder: Claims of "treating myopia" or "reversing astigmatism" are scientifically unfounded. Devices cannot reverse true myopia or shorten axial length.
