Bruder Moist Heat Mask
Red, tender, swollen eyelids? - In clinic this is a very common complaint. If there is no discharge and if the tenderness is both eyes, the culprit is often clogged oil glands within the lids.
|
If you could see inside of your eyelids, you would see these 'meibomian' oil glands. If they become clogged, it is called a chalazion. If they become infected, it is called a 'sty' or hordeolum. |
A heat eye mask offers relief as it effectively unclogs those lid oil glands!
More natural oil on your eyes means more stable vision / less intermittent blur and more comfort. A very relaxing SPA moment that is also great for eye health. A Bruder Moist Heat mask is the gold standard at our clinic - Highly recommend.
The mask is far better than face cloths because it delivers sustained moist heat. A face cloth will only stay warm for approximately 40 seconds and you need a minimum of 5 minutes to have a positive effect on lipid flow/production. 4 to 5 minutes of a heat mask followed by lid massage works wonders for dry eye sufferers.
We use this mask in clinic as a cross-over product for dry eye sufferers + eyelid pain issues + those suffering from digital eye strain.
The mask has one side that is more insulated so initially cooler and then when it starts to cool down - flip it over for more heat. Give your lids a massage after the heat to further increase effectiveness!
- Safe for frequent use
- Warming the mask in a microwave effectively sterilizes it
- Self-hydrating – no need to add water
- Non-allergenic
The Eyelid Moisture Heat Mask is a very effective, holistic approach to dry eye and unclogging eyelid glands. Heating your eye lids enables/activates your own body to better produce the oils essential to create a great tear film. 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 difference styles. This version of the heat mask has a gap over the bridge of the nose and Blepha Eyebag® has a continuous pillow over the entire ocular area.
