The tranquileye option is a more advanced, controlled option and is great for two reasons it maintains heat for 20-25 minutes and also has the option of not requiring a microwave. Caution with eyelid massages and vigorous lid massage is advised – especially when combined with heat – this is because of the potential for corneal deformity and subsequent visual dysfunction.
I suggest that patients with mild dry eye purchase a Bruder or DERM mask and use it for five to 10 minutes, 1-2 times day as part of their routine. With regards to warm compresses, research has shown a temperature of 40–45 degrees Celsius to be safe and most effective when used for periods of four to six minutes. While this is the most effective way to maintain heat with a typical cloth-based approach, as you can imagine, it is time consuming.Ī study performed in 2015 by Murakami et al revealed that the Bundle method, although the most labor intensive, increased lid temperatures above therapeutic levels. The patient then uses the outer towel initially and replaces with the next outer layer after two minutes of heat application. This is where a patient heats five microfiber towels, wrapped around each other, for one minute and fifty seconds in a microwave. Research has shown that the most effective way to maintain heat in a basic warm compress is to use the ‘bundle method’. But are all warm compresses equally efficient? Using a heat source over the top of closed eyes has been handed down from generation to generation to relieve dry eye symptoms and signs. Firstly targeting the underlying cause is the priority. When the fat glands become compromised, whether due poor blinking, rosacea, or trauma we need to find a way to get them working again. Using warm compress to relieve dry eye has been a long term method in the artillery of fighting both dry eye signs and symptoms. Stop wasting your time with hot compresses
