The Difference
Traditional warm compresses for the eyes require frequent reheating in the microwave every 2 minutes, leading to time-consuming and ineffective therapy.
This limitation not only makes therapy time-consuming but also hampers compliance, leading to ineffective results, potential risk of burns, and perpetuation of the dry eye cycle.
Our eye masks are designed based on research indicating that to effectively unblock clogged meibomian glands, improve oil flow, and potentially boost oil production, a temperature of at least 40°C should be maintained for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Made from premium, high-quality ingredients, our eye masks are crafted from medical-grade non-woven fabric and are completely fragrance-free. They are specifically formulated to minimise allergic reactions, making them ideal for individuals with sensitive eyes and skin.
Why do we need to properly warm compress our eyes?
Meibomian glands can sometimes get blocked and stop oil secretion due to various factors, including:
- Infrequent blinking resulting from prolonged exposure to computer screens.
- Inadequate eyelid hygiene, such as neglecting makeup removal, permits the accumulation of bacteria and debris around the gland openings, thereby causing blockages.
- Prolonged use of contact lenses can irritate the eyelids and disrupt oil production, ultimately leading to blockages, among other potential causes.
These all leads to meibomian gland dysfunction which causes an unstable tear film that evaporates too quickly. The oil can also build up in the oil glands or on the eyelid margin, leading to styes and inflammation of the eyelids.
Warm compress for the eyes improves meibomian gland function and promotes oil secretion. The eyelid and eyelash cleanser helps clear any debris from backed-up oil and fend off inflammation.
