Warm compress recommendations for dry eye and lid issues are proven, routine and effective... but actually doing warm compress regime properly is the challenge. From my clinical experience, warm eye compress from face cloths and tea bags have less-than-the desired result.
A warm compress system that creates the right temperature for the right length of time is critical for a success. There are many microwaveable eye masks available and mEYEspa sells two different styles. The Bruder moist heat mask has a gap over the bridge of the nose and Blepha Eyebag® has a continuous pillow over the entire ocular area.
Besides its shape, the difference is the materials used... the Blepha Eyebag® is free from additives and plastics and has natural silk & cotton, untreated flax (linseed).
From the manufacturer Thea: For the first two weeks use Blepha Eyebag® twice a day for 5 to 10 minutes each time. Ideally, morning and evening. Suitable for children from the age of 3 years old, adults and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Blepha Eyebag® is safe and efficient to use up to 200 times. The warming of the mask in a microwave effectively sterilizes it for repeated use.
