Warm compress recommendations for dry eye and lid issues like chalazion and stys 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 eye mask 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® eye mask is free from addiÂtives and plastics and has natÂurÂal silk & cotÂton, untreatÂed flax (linÂseed).
From the manufacturer Thea:  For the first two weeks use Blepha Eyebag® twice a day for 5 to 10 minÂutes each time. IdeÂalÂly, mornÂing and evening.  SuitÂable for chilÂdren from the age of 3 years old, adults and pregÂnant or breastÂfeedÂing women.

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