Abstract

The eye massaging device contains a main member having built-in air pump and actuation elements, an inflatable fomentation member, and a belt member where the main member and the fomentation member are attached, and a controller for adjusting the settings of the massaging device. The main member contains a number of slidably engaged pieces that elastically expand along with the belt member when the device is tied around a user's head. Additionally, the eye massaging device can also provide simultaneous massages to the appropriate acupuncture spots at the sides of the head such as temples by having additional built-in vibrating elements.
