Eye fatigue recovery and eye examination device {Device for eye fatigue recovery and eye examination}

The present invention relates to an eye fatigue recovery and eye examination device, and more particularly, can massage by applying cold and hot stimulation to the eye and its surroundings, recover eye fatigue and improve the skin environment by using near-infrared rays, and eye It relates to an eye fatigue recovery and eye examination device capable of inspecting abnormal symptoms through imaging.

As is well known, the eye is one of the important parts of the human body and is a part of the body where fatigue is very likely to accumulate because it is always used during human activity.

Today, the eyes of modern people are suffering from various stimuli, and especially as computers are widely used, the eyes of office workers who have to look at the monitor for a long time are constantly used in all daily life except for sleeping time and are inevitably tired.

It is desirable to relieve eye fatigue through sufficient sleep, but it is not easy in reality for students or office workers who are always pressed for lack of sleep and time. there is.

Since side effects such as deterioration of vision cannot be restored to their original state once they occur, proper management of the eyes is always required.

Accordingly, various measures have been proposed for health care for the eyes, among which representative ones include acupressure therapy to stimulate the acupoints around the eyes or long-term use of expensive eye nutrients.

However, the conventional method described above has problems in that it is difficult to perform regularly every day, and the effect obtained is insignificant compared to the cost required for long-term administration.

In this regard, an "eye massager" related to the present invention has been filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office and registered as Registration No. 20-0263407.

Conventional eye massagers can massage around the eyes using massage protrusions vibrated by a motor, but when the massage is performed in a dry state around the eyes, there is an uncomfortable problem in that pain occurs around the eyes.
