> 3 dayI purchased this to solve my issue with warm compress staying warm. I heat this up and it gives me 10 to 15 minutes of warmth. It has helped tremendously, washes up good. It has a velcro adjustable strap to secure it.

Greater than one weekIt does a wonderful job relieving my dry eyes. The product is top quality - well made and easy to use. My one complaint is that the eye packs are too far apart for me. I will be sewing them closer together.

> 3 dayUsing these at bedtime helps keep my eyes from drying out. I just lay them across my face, I dont use the velco fasteners. Also great after too much screen time to relax my eyes and again help them from being dry.

Greater than one weekChalazion went away after using this a couple weeks. It was this hard bump in my eyelid that just appeared and I didnt want to go to the doctor. An ophthalmologist on youtube talked about this. It feels amazing and I want to keep using it whenever Im not feeling well or just want to relax. I appreciate that the microwave directions are on the tag so you can throw away the box and not worry about cooking your eyeballs.

> 3 dayMy 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 Ive 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 Id 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. Ive now used the mask only four times and am disappointed to say that it is no longer retaining its moisture. Each time, Ive followed the manufacturers 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 (thats 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, theres 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 isnt 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 couldnt 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 didnt the company just make the interior of the mask a dark color instead of white so it wouldnt 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 doesnt require purchasing expensive products. Since Im still in the market for a true moist eye compress, Ill be shopping for a flaxseed or rice eye compress next. Ive successfully used moist heat therapy for an injury using heat packs filled with these ingredients, and theyve lasted at least a year without going all arid as Death Valley.

> 3 dayWhatever fill is in these works Really Well to gently transfer heat. I needed to stitch the elastic that goes between the eyes to make them sit closer, and now it fits me perfectly.
