In general, warm compresses for the eyes can be used for styes, dry eyes and for blepharitis. Here we discuss the benefits of using a heat compress for dry eyes and how the Tear Restore could help.
Why Use Warm Compresses?
Warm compresses are often recommended as a dry eye treatment early on for the management of evaporative dry eye disease, often as a result of Meibomian gland dysfunction. Warm compresses (also known as hot compresses) are used to melt rancid, solidified oils trapped in the eyelids. This allows for the oils to run smoothly out of the oil glands and allow for new oils to be produced.
Warm compresses can be time consuming, making productivity a bit difficult, often leading patients to forego warm compresses completely. The Tear Restore option takes a different approach to warm compress, and by allowing you to stay productive while doing your warm compress.
What is the Tear Restore?
The Tear Restore is a newly designed hot compress for dry eyes. It features a warming eye pack that allows for the users eyes to remain open during the treatment process. The main advantage the Tear Restore offers as a warm compress is the convenience of doing a hot compress while still being able to see and stay productive. Another benefit of this type of warm compress is that because the eyelids are open, it allows for blinking action to help pump the solidified oils out of the Meibomian glands. Even though it comes with a higher price point, the convenience factor probably means you’ll actually be using it, making this a great asset.
