Optase Moist Heat Mask

The eye mask heats up quickly and retains heat for about 15 minutes. My dry eyes do feel better after using the mask. Appears well made and comes with cloth bag for storage.

Works as described. Nice to do just prior to going to bed. Would recommend.

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.

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.

My 76-year-old mom uses this Optase moist heat mask for severe dry eyes related to Sjögren’s, and it has been very comforting for her. The moist heat feels soothing and helps her eyes feel more relaxed. It’s easy to use, holds warmth well, and has become part of her daily routine. A simple but effective comfort tool that she truly appreciates.

All work out great just what I needed!!

My Optometrist's recommendation for me to get these. It can take about 30-35 seconds for me to heat up the mask to the appropriate temperature (yours may vary depending on the power of your microwave), and it doesn't stay warm for a full 20 minutes, so you'll need to heat it up again about 10 minutes in, but it does work well to warm up your meibomian glands and help with dry eye syndrome. I replace these about every 6 months, even though you can wash them. I find that the quality does degrade after washing them.

I have been using this mask for the past week to treat a stye, it has helped a lot with loosening up the oils and I found it really helpful with dry eye symptoms HOWEVER, be very careful with washing the mask. The website does not do a good job explaining how to properly wash the mask and all the tag says is "to wipe and rinse thoroughly" which is vague. I am leaving this review in hopes that it helps someone who may be wondering or had the same issue. I hand washed my mask with cold water and I fully submerged the mask to wash and thoroughly rinse. Upon initially submerging it I heard a crackling and popping sound which I thought was a bit odd bit proceeded to wash. I then air dried over night and when I went to use the mask later that day, I felt a fine sandy like residue on my face afterwards. I washed my face immediately, and decided to cut the mask open to see what was going on. The mask had a fine dusty like powder along with the. hydro beads which I am not sure was a result of washing or not, but this does not seem safe. In general there should be more clear emphasis on what NOT to do if washing the mask a certain way destroys the beads or causes them to explode. I am sure I am not the first person that has washed it this way and if this is the outcome it needs better safety testing or clearer instructions.

L'ophtalmologue m'a prescrit un masque chauffant que j'ai acheté en pharmacie...l'ayant égaré, j'ai trouvé ce masque Optase, et ô joie,j'en suis très satisfaite,je ne m'attendais pas à de tels résultats, il répond à toutes mes attentes: facile à placer, confortable, permet de chauffer les paupières comme il faut.

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

Really good heat eye masks which helps with unblocking tear ducts. Very easy and comfortable to use only takes 10 minutes out of your day.

Da ich schon seit ein paar Jahren an chronischer Blepharitis leide und auch regelmäßig mit Gerstenkörnern zu kämpfen habe, habe ich nun wirklich schon einiges ausprobiert und versucht. Habe mich belesen und weitergebildet und bin über PubMed auf eine Studie gestoßen, in der dieses Produkt mit einem anderen verglichen wurde. Dabei schneidete die OPTASE Moist Heat Eye Mask am besten ab. Bereits vorher habe regelmäßig Trockenwärmebehandlungen mittels Rotlichtlampen durchgeführt, aber einer Meinung nach erhielt ich damit keinen wirklichen Erfolg. Erst durch diese Augenmaske habe ich zum ersten Mal das Gefühl, dass die Symptome gelindert wurden (mit paralleler Lidrandpflege.) Nach knapp 2 Monaten Anwendung hat sich erst ein neues Gerstenkorn gebildet, was für mich schon erfolgsvorsprechend ist, da ich eigentlich permanent an irgendeiner neuen Drüse eins besaß. Daher kann ich dieses Produkt mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Auf die Lidrandhygiene sollte trotzdem auch geachtet werden. Zur Anwendung: Die Augenmaske für 25 Sekunden in die Mikrowelle bei höchster Wattzahl und danach 10 Minuten auf die Augen legen. Der Klettverschluss zur Befestigung finde ich auch sehr praktisch. Fazit: 5 Sterne völlig verdient!
