The Eye Doctor Premium Featuring Sterileyes – Antibacterial Hot Eye Compress for Dry Eye, Blepharitis and MGD with a Removable Cover. Can Also be Used as a Cold Compress – Includes 6 Eyelid Wipes

I purchased this eye mask at the request of my doctor for pending eye surgery. It works great. Elastic band stays firm on the head. I have not needed it for swelling of the eyes but one can place it in the microwave if needed. I use it for holding my eye patch. It shuts out the light really well.

I've been using this for a couple of months now. I don't like using microwave ovens (research on the microwaves shows it's just not good), so I wanted something that can go into the oven. This works fine. Per the company's instruction, I heat it at 300 degrees (regular oven, not convectional) for 10 minutes. For convectional oven it's a different temp. I don't bother trying to stuff the heated mask back inside it's cover, I simply have a paper towel piece I re-use and put it on my eyes, with the mask on top, and the mask cover on top of that. I put my hands on to hold it down, since I like it a little warmer I can press a little to get more heat. I just had Lipiflow done so my oil glands are cleaned out and I'm simply maintaining as long as I can until my glands clog again.

Once in a while, you can come across a product that makes a very big difference in your life. This is one such product. During the first wave of the pandemic, we got locked down and I developed severe eye problems. I was not allowed to see a doctor. The pain was excruciating and I did not know what to do. I presumed that the lenses in my glasses were at fault and of course there were no opticians open. I put up with the problem for many weeks until I was "allowed" to speak to a nurse practitioner on the telephone who suggested it was dry eye. She prescribed a multitude of saline drops which did nothing. It was a complete waste of time and money. Once the opticians reopened, I was one of the first to get an appointment. My eyes were carefully examined and I had scarring on the surface of the eye due to dry eye. The saline had not lubricated the eye correctly. The optician suggested a new product which is called Hycosan, which was worth buying. It is an excellent product. It coated the eye in a thin film that lubricated and gave the eye time to heal. The problem was none of this was resolving the problem. By accident, I came across an eye doctor on YouTube who had recorded an entire 15 minutes of how to combat dry eye. He recommended this mask and after having it on the eyes for 15 minutes an eye massage of both the top and bottom eyelids. He explained that many times the oils that help lubricate the eye gets blocked and heat and massage will help release it. After 1 week of using this mask 3 times a day, my eyes began to water again and by a miracle, the pain began to ease. It is now 5 weeks on and I use it twice a day. I no longer suffer from extreme dry eye. The damage is slowly healing and at night my eyes no longer stick to the eyelids. This simple treatment has saved me from pain and great expense. I have nothing but admiration for this product and I am so grateful I found it. Amazing results.

Like this one better than others on the market because of the silky covering that is removable and can be washed.
