OPTASE® Moist Heat Mask, 1 Count

This really seems to get the tear ducts flowing. It takes some experimentation to get the heat right, and I found the warmer you get it the more results you get, but of course you don’t want to burn yourself. That’s where the experimentation comes in and a second or two in the microwave can make a bigger difference in heat than you might expect. Keep in mind I’m a guy so women should probably use extra caution since their skin might be more sensitive from all the bizarre compounds they’re constantly putting on their faces. My ophthalmologist recommended using it for two 5-minute treatments, reheating it after the first one. This was good advice because the compress cools too much by the time 10 minutes are up, as some reviewers have noted. Again, be careful about the heat. Warmer=better up to a point! Also be sure to go by the cleaning instructions on the tag. No immersion!

I have *extremely* dry eyes. Most of the time they feel either goopy or like I have something stuck in them. Systane Ultimate didn't work, Pataday didn't work, Azelastine didn't work, steroid eye drops didn't work. My optometrist suggested that I try warm compresses 5 times a day for 10 minutes, and that it should be warm/hot enough to be uncomfortable, but not actually enough to burn the skin. I'll just say right up front that I don't have time for that. I do however use this mask for 3-5 minutes at least once a day, sometimes twice, and it definitely helps. I heat it for 30 seconds, put it on my eyes LIGHTLY because it's super hot at first. I still use it but I kind of squeeze it height wise so the heat is only right where my lash line is until it cools enough for me to just let it go. Once I do that, I push in where my lash line is to make sure I get ample heat there because it does cool quite fast. Once I remove it, I push on my lash line with kind of a back and forth motion to try to express the glands. I can't really feel the glands release the oils when I do it, but afterward I can tell that my eyes have way better lubrication. Another bonus is that it creates moist heat. I don't know how these beads do it but you don't have to put it in water or do anything in particular to make it so it releases steam, but they do. My orbital eye area feels nice and moisturized when I take them off. Doesn't last, but it's nice for that moment. The only thing that could make this better is if I didn't have to put it in the microwave each time I want to use it. Sometimes I use it downstairs and that's more convenient because I am near the kitchen, but when I want to use it at night and I'm already upstairs it's kind of a hassle to have to go down to the kitchen to heat it. I know there are some masks that are self-heating like those hand warmer pouches, and that would be fantastic for this product. Verdict: I'll definitely keep purchasing these. The price is right, and they just plain work.

Simple to use. Just pop in microwave and make sure it is not too hot. The beads adjust to your face and eye shape. It does not produce moist heat for me nor does it stay warm for more than 10 minutes. Moving on to brand that runs off of a battery charge. Relaxing but short lived.

Recommended by my doctor due to eye inflammation. Absolutely amazing. Terrific way to destress and forget the issues of the day/world. Very comforting.

Excellent product. Adjustable fit and pain relief.

Great or Dry Eye problems. no dripping water out of ice packs. Just warm and comfortable.

So much easier to use than a damp towel! No mess, no fuss! So thankful a friend mentioned this option to me.

It works ok. Heats up pretty quick but also cools real quick too. The first minute or so is burning hot. You probably can get a good 6-7 minutes of good hot compress then it gets cool real fast.

Rimedio "casalingo" per occhi "secchi" e affaticati, consigliato dal medico oculista si è rivelato molto efficace nel ridurre la sensazione di pizzicore e secchezza oculare. Non vale certo come terapia risolutiva, e utilizzatelo solo dietro suggerimento medico (se soffrite di glaucoma o altri disturbi della pressione oculare il calore anche moderato è controindicato), ma usato regolarmente allevia i fastidi. Non superate i tempi di applicazione suggeriti. Un consiglio, utilizzate delle compressine di garza o tessuto non tessuto tra le palpebre e la maschera per prolungarne la durata e mantenerla pulita, è lavabile ma deve asciugare almeno 24h quindi meglio lavarla il meno possibile.

They’re using similar materials in spa. Amazing and helped me alot with my eye infection pimples

So soothing and peaceful to lay back for 10 minutes with this on my eyes. Good quality and comes with a nice storage pouch. Quick to heat and I did notice it had cooled down a bit after 7 mins out of the 10, but that is much better than the usual warm compress needing to be reheated every 30 seconds or so.
