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.

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.

Having used a more expensive heated eye mask I was a little disappointed with this version. The heat does not last; the material is a bit on the rough side. It does give relief, but not long lasting.

My Eye doctor advised me to get this mask - extremely comfortable and fits all size faces. Was able to help with the issues I was having effectively and can use this mask both hot and cold - durable and lasts for multiple uses.

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.

Great item!

Easy to use... microwave unit for 25 seconds and place on eye area with convenient velcro straps for 10 minutes. Easy relief after a long day of staring at a screen or first thing in the morning to refresh after sleep.

Effective relief for dry and aching eyes
