BruderMoist Heat Eye Compress | Microwave Activated | Fast Acting and Effective Relief for Dry Eye and Other Eye Irritation

I have been using my mask 2x a day for the last year and it has stood up well. Washing it does cause it to pill but I always place a folded Kleenex between my eyes and the mask so I don’t have to wash it often. It is really helping with my dry eyes. It stays warm and moist for a good 10 minutes, but I use it only 3-5 minutes at a time. It is so much better than a drippy washcloth and holds the heat better. I really like mine and will order another when mine is worn out. As for the people who have gotten burn holes in theirs, I have to think it is their microwave that is the problem.

My optometrist recommended I try this Bruder mask compress for 8-10 minutes twice a day for 2 weeks to relieve dry eye due to blocked oil glands in the eyelids (blephartis). The mask was delivered in 3 days and I'm happy to say it worked for me within days, not weeks. I heated the mask as recommended on the box, it's warm without being too hot, easy to use, comfortable and not too heavy. Do order the hygienic eyelid sheets at the same time you order the mask. The sheets keep makeup, oil, etc away from the mask. The mask only comes with one sheet. Highly recommend.

The Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress provides fast, effective relief for dry eyes and irritation. It’s easy to use — just pop it in the microwave and place it over your eyes for soothing heat therapy. I've noticed a definite improvement in eye comfort after a few uses.However, be cautious with heating time. The compress can get very warm, and if you’re not careful, it can become too hot and potentially hurt your eye. I recommend starting with shorter intervals (like 7 seconds), checking the temperature, and adjusting as needed based on your microwave's power.Overall, it’s a great product for dry eye relief — just follow the instructions carefully and test the temperature before use.

This keeps my eyelids and lashes clean and comfortable. Recommended by my eye surgeon.

Love the Bruder. My eyes feel so much better after using it, plus it leaves me feeling relaxed. Great product.

I have dry eye and this was recommended by my optometrist many years ago. I use it first thing in the morning and that's usually it. It softens the stuff that's blocked my tear ducts and allows it to be reabsorbed in my eyes. Eyes rarely itch from dryness anymore. On really bad days, I will supplement it with eye drops as well later on in the day. I have to replace the mask every 3 to 6 months, but it is worth it to me.

My new ophthalmologist wants me, a long time dry eye sufferer, to use nightly warm washcloth eye compresses to avoid going back to the Restasis-and-steroid dog 'n' pony show I've been on for the last 20 years for a variety of reasons. Washcloths soaked in warm water cool off in under five minutes and are also annoying to use in between my nightly facial unguents, so I thought I'd give the Bruder eye mask a whirl. It had certainly popped up in my suggested items enough times over the years while perusing expensive nonprescription eye drops.I've now used the mask only four times and am disappointed to say that it is no longer retaining its moisture. Each time, I've followed the manufacturer's heating instructions, heating it between 20-30 seconds on high, which is just enough to keep it comfortably warm for over 10 minutes.The first time I used it, the amount of moisture it exuded was quite noticeable, and the oil glands of my eyelids (that's meibomian glands for all the anatomy geeks out there) were clearly unclogged. My eyes felt much, much better. The three subsequent times I used the mask, however, it gave off less moisture, and this fourth time, there was no discernible moisture whatsoever. While the heat feels nice, with severe dry eye syndrome and clogged glands, there's no point in using a dry heat mask. What a waste of money, considering the mask is supposed to last at least six months with once per day use.Additionally, the design of the mask isn't great for my petite face. My face overall and facial features are on the small side, and I have difficulty buying glasses and even sleep masks. The elastic between the 'eyes' of the mask is actually too wide for me, causing the eyepieces to slip around uncomfortably during use. I found myself having to adjust them periodically to recenter them properly over my eyes and couldn't really relax while using them. If this mask actually worked, I would have had to hike the elastic at least a quarter inch or so with a safety pin to stop the slippage.Finally, I was offended by the sheer, greedy marketing of additional useless products that was included with the mask. It came with sample shields to prevent the mask from being bespoiled bymakeup/creams/etc. on eyelids during use. Why didn't the company just make the interior of the mask a dark color instead of white so it wouldn't show stains, thereby eliminating the need for such frequent cleaning? I just placed a thin cotton handkerchief over my eyes under the mask instead for free. There was also an eyelid scrub sample. Eyelid scrubbing is a fairly simple at-home procedure that doesn't require purchasing expensive products.Since I'm still in the market for a true moist eye compress, I'll be shopping for a flaxseed or rice eye compress next. I've successfully used moist heat therapy for an injury using heat packs filled with these ingredients, and they've lasted at least a year without going all arid as Death Valley.

This was recommended to me by my doctor for a chalozion. It’s not fully healed but it’s effective. It feels soft on the skin and very easy to use.
