PSA: Don’t Use a Massage Gun . . . on Your Eyeballs

I know people who struggle to put drops of Visine in their eyes . . . A 20-something Scottish guy went to see his ophthalmologist, complaining of “increasing floaters and flashing lights in his right eye”. He told the doctor he hadn’t had any eye or head injuries, but when the doc took a closer look, he found multiple retinal tears, widespread bruising, and a condition called “retinal dialysis.” He eventually admitted, that once a week, for the last 3 months, he’d been trying to soothe his tired eyes with a PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE GUN. Luckily he’ll be okay, but it was close. The doctors used laser treatments to mend the retinal tears and seal the breaks. Now we know, THIS guy is the reason for those “stupid warning labels”.
