No microwave in your practice, no problem……
The Sutton Eyecare instant heat mask uses self-heating technology that warms up the mask as soon as you open the pouch. The active natural ingredients heat up the mask to >40°C and the soothing warmth lasts up to 20 minutes.
The ingredients of the mask include lutein. Well-known as a beneficial ingredient for the eyes, but it is also thought to be good for the skin.
Supplied in a box of 12 instant masks, they are perfect for single use in practice when heat is needed or for patients to use travelling and on-the-go, especially when a microwave is unavailable.
The benefits of warm compresses to relieve dry eyes and blepharitis are well documented. The gentle melting of oily secretions from the Meibomian glands, releases extra lubrication into the tears. The oily layer in tears is important as it coats the cornea and then spreads and holds the aqueous and mucus layers in place. The evaporation of the tears over the course of the day is reduced, this relieves the discomfort when watching screens or blinking.
A daily application of warmth can relieve the dryness, soreness, inflammation and redness that dry eyes and blepharitis can cause.
However, compliance is low due to time constraints and these masks offer a quick, convenient solution to the problem. They are especially useful when travelling, when space is tight or for those with dexterity problems who find it difficult to heat and apply a conventional eye bag. In optical practices, hygiene is paramount so a single-use disposable mask is the preferred option.
Each mask has a supersoft lining that feels comfortable against the eyes. The mask opens to form ear loops that hold the mask in place comfortably. The experience is relaxing and soothing as each mask feels ultra-light and not heavy or weighing on the eyes. The masks have been independently tested for safety so you can be reassured of their high quality and efficacy.
