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 Prime Day, 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 after one of my colleagues suggested it, and I was skeptical -- but now this niche device is my go-to tool when I feel like my head and eyes are ready to tap out.
