Wet washcloths work....if you microwave them for about 25-30 seconds and then wrap them in a dry hand towel to buffer the heat on the skin, but the washcloth will steam up the eye and will last for about 10 minutes. In a pinch, if you don't have an actual mask, it works just as well.
The Optase compress is the bees knees, I like it a lot. I used it for a chalazion, and it was much better than the Riteaid gel-filled eye compresses. Those wore out/leaked after 4 or 5 days of compressing 3 or 4 times a day.
Hi Dr D, can you tell me how blurry vision is supposed to be after a warm compress? I often think the blurriness feels a little watery, but I don’t see lots of blurriness so it makes me think it’s not working well. Thanks for the video!
Having Glaucoma, should I be concerned about the weight of the mask? I don't want it to cause higher eye pressure. I returned one mask that was filled with rice because when I laid down and put it on my eyes, it was very heavy. I opted for one that is filled with beads that contain a liquid, it's not too heavy.
Maybe you can try hard boiled egg. Boil it for 15 mins, remove and wrap it with handkerchief. Wrap twice cos of the warm heat. This boiled egg retains the warm heat for 25 mins. Apply on the affected eyelid. Effective as done by most Asians. Safe and effective.
Blessed morning Dy Im in the Philippines living a remote area I'm so eager to have it a mask for warm compress but I can those mask I'm suffering a dry eyes for a year how can you help me thanks slot for your kindness
Are there concerns with warm compress with regards to corneal irregularity? I heard even rubbing your eyes is associated with keratoconus so now I’m concerned about keep doing warm compress.
I wondered about this as well. other videos say that with warm compresses/mask that it changes the shape of the cornea. i dont want to do that so im afraid to try and I did buy a Bruder mask, which is still sitting in the package because of this
Will the warm compresses cause wrinkles on the eye lids and under the eyes? I am kinda concerned that the heat from the compress would cause wrinkles over time.
Hello, I am 16 years old. I have been suffering from blepharitis MGD for 4 5 months due to dry eye. the tenderness in my eyelids the pain is killing me. I'm thinking of committing suicide. Do you think blepharitis - will my dry eyes go away when my puberty is over? My dad had a sty in his eye when he was my age and then it went away. Please reply
Please don't hurt yourself friend, there are lots of options to give you relief from MGD. There moisture chamber glasses to keep your eyes from drying out when your outdoors, computer glasses to take the strain off your eyes when looking at screens, and Lipiflow treatments have been very well studied to improve MGD. You are very brave for fighting this affliction but never give up, you've got this. Stick to your warm compress and clean your eyelids, keep fighting! :) many people have this disease and live fulfilling lives even if it is difficult.
I dunk my face in a bowl of warm/hot water. I take a breath every so often, but I find it cheap and simple. No microwave needed. Do you see a downside with my approach?
The only downside is that you need 10-15 minutes of heat so that's a lot of holding your breath! If it heats your glands and provides relief its fine by me! I actually have one patient who can't tolerate heat directly on her eyelids and so we improvised and she uses a facial steamer device. It works for her!
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD I began to use my method after I got a huge chalazion after I used a Bruder mask that probably wasn't as clean as it needed to me. I was afraid of these masks that are hard to clean.
I have had bletharitis, for some years, also dry eye syndrome but blocked ducts also for years. I am so miserAble with all this, and illness and disablement as well. I also have slow cataracts forming. I use a computer and so need this outreach. I have tried many different so called remedies, and still am not getting any relief. I also use daily a good artificial tear but with the constant blocking, no relief, I do use a heated eye pad also occasionally. An6 further suggestions of help please, would be so grateful
I like the Optase compress that came in the kit that I purchased from your office!
You are the best! Thank you for all the information you give us.

What are the long term effects on the cornea due to these warm compresses?
Hi Dr D, can you tell me how blurry vision is supposed to be after a warm compress? I often think the blurriness feels a little watery, but I don’t see lots of blurriness so it makes me think it’s not working well. Thanks for the video!
My wife uses like the first one you showed and said that open eye mask would be cool!! Thx
10-15 minutes every day adds up! Hope you give the TearRestore mask a try, there is a 30 day money back guarantee.
Thanks.
I recently had cataracts done, and I do worry about rubbing my eyes, can I dislodge the lenses?
Love your expressions
Do you have any opinion on/experience with Tranquileyes?
Does it helps for glaucoma 👍🏻❤️
What about the oasis rest relief eye mask for blocked oil glands>
What about using my infrared sauna?

Are warm compresses safe? I heard it can cause keratakonis? Permanent damage for cornea
Hi there. I don't see a link to the USB mask you mentioned. Can you post that? Thanks.
Added! Although the one I showed is now unavailable. I linked it anyway and found a similar one!
Put the mask in a hotel kettle to recharge it if travelling . What can go wrong .
( after it’s boiled and OFF of course)
Dr. D, I've got a question, Have you ever heard of difficulty being able to see well at Night, Also having floaters in Side vision

What was your mask at 10:24?
What is the name of the Last one USB type eye mask? Can someone give me a link to order? I have chazalion and I want to try it
Love the flinging of the mask! LOL!!! The comic relief is priceless 😂

It can change cornea if you apply too much pressure and heat.
Please provide the product name, specifically the usb heated mask. I could not understand you on the video.
Thanks for making me laugh 😂
Well, once a day do it? I don’t think you mentioned how many times a day to do this.
Will the warm compresses cause wrinkles on the eye lids and under the eyes? I am kinda concerned that the heat from the compress would cause wrinkles over time.
Couldn't you put eye cream on before the mask...then wouldn't it do the opposite
@@betzib8021 , the instructions say to clean the eye area well because we can’t wash the optase compress so often
Where are you? I want to have an appointment

Since the human body is close to 100 degrees would my wife sitting on my face for 10 minutes be a viable mask solution as well?
LMAO just be careful of pink eye
careful she aint windy
6:58 wow I love it 🙂❤️
2:51 wow you are cute as well🙂
5:58 😂I love the way you talk babe
Why are those compresses so big? Meibomian glands are very small.
thats a great point. the tearcare probes are very small by comparison. let's invent a better warm compress!
Bruner mask does NOT hold the heat for 10 minutes. Forget this mask.
New video coming on a new warm compress option. Just filmed it yesterday!
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD about to buy the optase one. Is the new reviewed one better?
So, a microwave is required…
5:36 ghggh
I would rather visit you in your ‘ Surgery’ than an ‘ office ‘ ( just change the name ;)
Could have been better…
It's hard to take you serious when you are acting so silly!
It is serious info. I’m just a goofball. ♥️
