It contains Hydrobeads that absorb moisture from the air, that once activated by heat, release a constant, moist heat onto the eye lids. This in turn can unblock any blocked Meibomian glands within the eyelids and promotes them to release protective oils onto the eyes, spreading freely thanks to the heat.
These oils are required for a healthy tear film by preventing rapid evaporation of tears, treating dry eyes by keeping them naturally hydrated.
OPTASE® Moist Heat Mask can also soften built up crust along the lids and lashes associated with Blepharitis prior to lid hygiene and cleaning such as with the OPTASE Tea Trea Oil Lid Wipes. Lastly, OPTASE® Moist Heat Mask can also be placed in the freezer to provide cold therapy which effectively treats allergic eye reactions and puffy eyes such as those associated with hayfever.
OPTASE® Moist Heat Mask is recommended as part of a 3 step Heat, Cleanse, Hydrate regime..
