How to warm compress? Here I review how I like to do them.

Warm compresses work best by
Providing constant heat
Do them for at LEAST 10 minutes at a time
Repeat at least daily for dry eye symptoms or blepharitis
Repeat at least four times per day in cases of a stye or chalazion

PRO TIP: Gentle massage over the eyelids will help push melted oils out of the blocked Meibomian glands and allow them to produce new oils.

Wash Cloth Method
Pro:
- Inexpensive
Cons:
-Needs to be reheated frequently
-takes longer to finish
-Can be messy
-Waste of water

Sock with Dry Rice
Pro:
-fairly inexpensive
Cons:
-Need to repeat for each eye
-Potentially a cause for infection (I gave myself a stye once doing this)

  • Your instruction video was helpful & since it is a video I can rewatch as often as I need to. I'm 87, newly diagnosed MGD, wanting to do Heat/massage correctly. Thanks for showing me the proper way.
  • I do 20 seconds and it feels great and lasts 15 minutes easily, it's really been helping my infected blepharitis and the massaging is helping too! Hopefully it'll save me from having to have surgery (im broke broke haha)
  • @miriamthomas7859
    Thank you so much! I was in so much pain from a stye. After using that eye mask I feel almost completely better!
  • @mrg8255
    I have been successful using a cloth, hot / warm tap water 5 min bid. Bent over & salt added to water. Then gentle massaging to a count of 100. 1 tsp salt . I can add boiling water carefully to keep temp up.. I like the moisture.
  • My doctor said I have dry eye and to start using the brudder mask. Good tips and love the video. I feel safe enough to try it now.
  • @jcmayhue
    Great tips, alot of people don't know what to do when given instructions at the eye dr. But I use the sock with rice but I make sure I put enough rice so its enough to cover both eyes. I've also used this method for almost 2 years and havent gotten an infection by using a clean sock that I dont use anymore and wash it every few days.
  • @marlenekowal7976
    Eye think you are amazing with all of your advice! Currently using a heating pad wrapped in a pillowcase ensuring it is not too hot. I do not have a microwave! Sometimes, also a warm washcloth under the heating pad. I think it is helping...no worse....a bit better!!!
  • @daniel1c
    Pro tip, test the Temp with the front of your hand, not back. There is a lot more temperature receptors there that resembles your eyelids compared to the back
  • @mariatopczij4525
    Thank you for your videos. Even though this one is a few years old, it's relevant. I got an Optase mask, its great. It goes across the bridge of my nose for a bit of added comfort. I had Lasik surgery about a month ago and my eyes are so dry now. Instead of spending more money on many many eye drops and using the horrible medicated drops, I decided to try a mask. It's doing wonders. Less dryness throughout the day. I use it twice a day.
  • These are great videos. As a new "dry eye" person, these really help. I do have a quick question: At night, I use a gel drop in my eyes. And I do a compress. Should I do the drop before or after the compress? Thank you!
  • @gmtv9928
    Just ordered the Bruder Moist Heat Compress. Thanks for providing the link!
  • @TheRoshan89
    Great video. I'm a minnesotan too! Just diagnosed with these dry eye problems yesterday and my doctor also recommended the bruder. It's gonna come on sunday, just need to get through today and tomorrow!
  • @carmivanronk275
    Good & thorough info Doc but the best part was the cat at the end ! 🤓😼
  • @gardenglory6624
    Bruder is great i use this , bought it from my optometrist- excellent product
  • @tcfencing9772
    Wow. Regarding all the information he is giving us - another example of how we do not get things explained to us so we understand. I now realize that tears have a number of important components and where they come from. Eye doctors have addressed my dry eyes as "well, it happens" Then, they want to prescribe long-term medications. Not doing that. Now I know I can (I hope) get those oil glands moving and feel better. Maybe videos like this is why "professionals" are upset because we are learning about how to take care of our bodies and say NO to medicine all the time. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to do compress and massage.
  • @princessJayNay22
    I have chronic dry eye and chronic inflammation in both eyes, due to having multiple surgeries. 13 surgeries total. My eye Dr told me of the Bruder mask yesterday, going to pick one up.
  • @danimua6637
    You literally have educated and helped me I currently have a star on the inside of my eye and I get them quite often and they hurt
