Warmth from the mask softens the oily secretions in the eyelids so they can spread across the surface of the eye, which helps reduce tear evaporation. It is filled with untreated flax seeds, covered in silk and cotton, and can be reheated about 200 times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mask is heated in a microwave, then placed over closed eyes for 5 to 10 minutes. For the first two weeks it is used twice a day, in the morning and evening, then as advised by your optician or healthcare professional. Check the temperature on your wrist before every use, and do not use it on broken or bleeding skin around the eyes. If you have eye pain, a change in your vision or very red eyes, stop and seek advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable heated eye mask for dry eye linked to MGD, blepharitis, stye and chalazion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be reheated about 200 times, with a recommended replacement after roughly 6 months of regular use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilled with untreated flax seeds, with silver silk on one side and black cotton moleskin on the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo plastic and no added fragrance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for microwave heating, with separate times for first use and later uses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed for 5 to 10 minutes over closed eyes, either side up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan ease discomfort for contact lens wearers with dry eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for adults, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and for children aged 3 and over when an adult heats and handles it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Blepha EyeBag Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe meibomian glands along the eyelid edges produce an oily layer that stops tears from evaporating too quickly. When the oil thickens or the glands become blocked, the eyes can feel dry, gritty, sore or tired. The warmth of the EyeBag melts and softens the oils so they can flow and spread across the eye surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe flax seeds hold and release heat evenly, and the soft, contoured fit keeps the warmth in contact with the closed eyelids. A study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology (Bilkhu et al., 2014) reported relief from this type of dry eye. Blepha EyeBag does not cure blepharitis or MGD, which are often long-term conditions, but it can be part of a daily eyelid care routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials and Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Untreated flax seeds (linseed), silver silk on one side and black 100% cotton moleskin on the other.
