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

These are wonderful for those suffering with clogged meibomian ducts. My eyes feel better instantly! I used them daily for about ten minutes at a time.

My doctor recommended a product such as this for my severe dry eye symptoms. After comparing products and ratings, this seemed the best choice - and it was! Easy to use - put in microwave for 10-15 seconds - and it lays comfortably over my eyes. The pads are soft and comfortable. The adjustable headband keeps it perfectly in place. Makes it easy to follow my doctors orders for using this at least 10 minutes a day.

Works great for eyestrain. And heats up fast too!

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 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.

I have very dry eyes. My optometrist recommended this brand. It is really convenient and comfortable to use. Hoping it will help my eyes.

I only needed this for one eye. Its great for both, but difficult to use on one eye only.

Stays hot, but the nose strap could be softer.

Nice and soothing on my eyes. Heats in 20 seconds and leave it on for 10 minutes. Great purchase.

Recommended by my optician. My eyes being sensitive to light and touch still, this takes getting used to. Recommend if your eyes are sensitive as mine to cut down on time in microwave or let sit and cool for a minute or so.

Comfortable hands free, helps with circulation and inflammation. Wish I had one for my whole face
