I use them on many different areas of my body for menstrual cramps, abdominal muscle cramps, neck stiffness, my little peepers (eyes), or if I just want to warm the foot of the bed. Throughout my site, I have mentioned that I don’t typically use microwaves, but I do make exceptions. With Meibomian gland (oil-producing glands) dysfunction the eyelids fail to secrete enough oil to prevent tears from evaporating too quickly, and this results in dry eye symptoms. The Eye-presses have the advantage of not requiring an outside heating source (like a microwave) they reach a comfortable 55C within a few seconds on their own, and NEVER EXCEED that temperature, making this a very safe alternative.If you have been diagnosed with Meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, dry eye, or any other irritating eye disorder, applying warm compresses is a very common part of therapy.
Soroudi encountered so many occasions where his patients were told to “put a hot compress” on their eyes, and “wash their eyelids/lashes with baby shampoo/lid wipes.” While this was a very effective treatment, he found that the way people did this was very rudimentary and differed greatly between person to person: some used hot potatoes/eggs, some used hot towels dipped in boiling water, some used (and still use) microwave-heated compresses, all of which either BURN the eyes, or they don’t stay hot for a long-enough period to be effective.

There is finally a convenient, hygienic product that makes applying heat to the eyelids a standard exercise, and by naturally controlling the maximum temperature and duration of the heat reaction, a safe alternative to the usual tea-bags and hot towels that are so commonly prescribed by eye-care professionals around the world. The device is also equipped with a patented butterfly handle that will make it easy for the user to massage his/her affected eyelid(s) with the product to gently wash off the bacteria residing on the eyelashes and help unclog the oily eyelid pores (meibomian glands) and help resolve sties or chalazia, along with many other conditions. Eye-press™ addresses all of these issues in one convenient, hygienic package: It combines a simple, natural, self-heating chemical reactor that provides steady-state heat to the eyelids at a set temperature that will not harm the delicate eyelid skin, and a soft, lint-free, medical-grade wipe material that is pre-moistened with a hypo-allergenic baby shampoo and lavender extract that cleans the eyelids and soothes irritated eyes. Until now, this exercise has consisted of people applying hot tea-bags, warmed up potatoes/eggs, hot spoons, and microwave-heated products to their eyes.įor the first time in history, there is now a logical, hygienic, and convenient means to achieve the best outcomes for people who suffer from such common conditions.
For generations, the application of warm compresses to the eyes has been know to help relieve the symptoms and even permanently treat a variety of conditions that affect the eyes/eyelids.
