OPTASE Heat Mask

Incredible. I get dry eye from time to time and bad sinus headaches and this has been my magic cure. It’s moist without being damp and stays warm the length of time you need. Super happy with it!!

I have *extremely* dry eyes. Most of the time they feel either goopy or like I have something stuck in them. Systane Ultimate didn't work, Pataday didn't work, Azelastine didn't work, steroid eye drops didn't work. My optometrist suggested that I try warm compresses 5 times a day for 10 minutes, and that it should be warm/hot enough to be uncomfortable, but not actually enough to burn the skin. I'll just say right up front that I don't have time for that. I do however use this mask for 3-5 minutes at least once a day, sometimes twice, and it definitely helps.I heat it for 30 seconds, put it on my eyes LIGHTLY because it's super hot at first. I still use it but I kind of squeeze it height wise so the heat is only right where my lash line is until it cools enough for me to just let it go. Once I do that, I push in where my lash line is to make sure I get ample heat there because it does cool quite fast. Once I remove it, I push on my lash line with kind of a back and forth motion to try to express the glands. I can't really feel the glands release the oils when I do it, but afterward I can tell that my eyes have way better lubrication.Another bonus is that it creates moist heat. I don't know how these beads do it but you don't have to put it in water or do anything in particular to make it so it releases steam, but they do. My orbital eye area feels nice and moisturized when I take them off. Doesn't last, but it's nice for that moment.The only thing that could make this better is if I didn't have to put it in the microwave each time I want to use it. Sometimes I use it downstairs and that's more convenient because I am near the kitchen, but when I want to use it at night and I'm already upstairs it's kind of a hassle to have to go down to the kitchen to heat it. I know there are some masks that are self-heating like those hand warmer pouches, and that would be fantastic for this product.Verdict: I'll definitely keep purchasing these. The price is right, and they just plain work.

Really nice. It looses it's heat after about 8 min...but it works!

This is my second mask. My first one wore out after 6 years of daily use. The elastic and Velcro no longer worked. This mask has helped my dry eye. I highly recommend it

I need to use warm compresses on my eyes a few times a day for severe dry eyes. I use the disposable ones when I go to bed, but wanted a microwaveable one for during the day. I tried a few others and they didn’t hold heat for more than a couple minutes They also felt like they were sitting on my eye ridges instead of my eyelids. I had to press them down and hold them against my eyes to feel the warmth. This eye mask not only holds the heat much longer, but really sits right on my eyes and even feels comfortably weighted down due to the stuff inside them. They fit great- I love the Velcro adjustable strap-and are easy to use. There’s no smell, and my eyes feel great afterward. Awesome product!

Helps with dry eyes. Easy to use.

This is an excellent mask. It is quite durable and I’ve washed it and it looks like new. It’s still as soft as when I received it a month ago. The pads are soft and thick although for my smaller size they’re slightly large but useable. My eyes feel moisturized after using the mask daily.

I have been using this mask for the past week to treat a stye, it has helped a lot with loosening up the oils and I found it really helpful with dry eye symptoms HOWEVER, be very careful with washing the mask. The website does not do a good job explaining how to properly wash the mask and all the tag says is "to wipe and rinse thoroughly" which is vague. I am leaving this review in hopes that it helps someone who may be wondering or had the same issue.I hand washed my mask with cold water and I fully submerged the mask to wash and thoroughly rinse. Upon initially submerging it I heard a crackling and popping sound which I thought was a bit odd bit proceeded to wash. I then air dried over night and when I went to use the mask later that day, I felt a fine sandy like residue on my face afterwards. I washed my face immediately, and decided to cut the mask open to see what was going on. The mask had a fine dusty like powder along with the. hydro beads which I am not sure was a result of washing or not, but this does not seem safe.In general there should be more clear emphasis on what NOT to do if washing the mask a certain way destroys the beads or causes them to explode. I am sure I am not the first person that has washed it this way and if this is the outcome it needs better safety testing or clearer instructions.
