Aroma Season Heated Eye Mask, Warm Eye Compress for Dry Eyes MGD Stye Blephartitis Sinus Migraine, Graphene Heating Element with Natural Lavender Pack (Black)

I’ve been using the Aroma Season heated eye mask for a couple of weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s comfortable, easy to use, and the heat is just right for relaxing tired eyes. I’ve noticed a big improvement in my eye strain, especially after long hours in front of the computer.The quality is excellent, and it heats up quickly. I also appreciate the adjustable settings, which let me control the temperature and timing. It feels very soothing before bedtime, and helps me fall asleep faster.Highly recommend this product for anyone dealing with dry eyes, tension, or simply needing some relaxation!

Recommended for Dry EyesMy optometrist said I have dry eyes. She recommended a hot compress, along with taking fish oil. (TL;DR: The verdict for fish oil is that it doesn't do anything to help with dry eyes. My optometrist seems to think it's working though.) For me, I noticed the eye compress did more to help with my symptoms than the fish oil. Oftentimes, my eyes burn and feel gritty. They were bloodshot, too. Using the eye compress, I can see that the bloodshot intensity went down by a significant degree.Wet Vs Dry CompressesBefore I bought this dry compress, I was using a wet towel that I would run under hot water. It takes several minutes to get hot water. I would run the towel under the running faucet for about 20 seconds. Then, I would apply the compress to my eyes. After a minute, the compress would just be lukewarm. I would have to run to the faucet to reheat my towel. By this time, I would have to wait a bit for hot water again. I did this numerous times to reheat my compress. The recommended minimum time for applying an eye compress is 10 minutes. Needless to say, I quickly got tired of reheating my towel. I was not able to perform eye compresses every night, too, because of how troublesome this was. It was a waste of water, too.Wished It Was a Touch HotterNaturally, I started looking for solutions online. Apparently, there is a difference between wet and dry compresses. A wet compress, such as that applied with a wet towel, helps to add moisture to the eyes. A dry compress adds no moisture and can even take away what moisture is in the eyes. I asked my optometrist if I could use this USB-powered dry compress. She said it was fine, so I got this. Now, I can use the 10 minutes of applying this eye compress to meditate or reflect, along with letting the stresses of the world melt away for a bit. It does take about a minute for this device to get up to temperature. I always run this on high. Even then, I feel that it could be much hotter. I have tried powering this off a dedicated USB A power supply unit (PSU) rather than a computer USB port. There seems to be no difference in the amount of heat generated. Typically, a computer limits the current on the USB A port to 1 A to protect itself. I was thinking a USB PSU would remove this limitation.Physical Contact LimitationsThe eye compress does not touch all of my eye lids. I found myself having to press the compress against my eyes to help with relieving my dry eye symptoms. For those who do not know, when you have dry eyes the oil glands in your eyes clog up and stop lubricating your eyes. The plugs are the consistency of butter. The eye compress helps to melt these plugs.I try to clean the area around my eyes before I apply the mask so as to help keep it clean for as long as I can. The surface material looks like it would be easy to clean. Take a damp towel and wipe down it down to help keep away those pesky eye infections.ConclusionOverall, I do recommend this eye mask. It saves you a bunch of time, you can use it almost anywhere (it's USB A!), and does the job of providing relief from dry eyes.

My eye doctor recommended I get the microwavable eye pillows and use them for 10 min at a time regularly for eye dryness. When I am working on the computer (which is when my eyes are the most dry and fatigued) I am just not likely to get up and go all the way to the kitchen to the microwave. So I wanted to try one of these to see if I would actually use it. I definitely use it way more than I would a microwave eye pillow, and it does a decent job. It is nice that it has a timer for 20 min in case I doze off or forget it turns off. And it stays warm for the entire time rather than starting to cool over time. The lavender insert still smells great. Overall, the product seems to be helping my eyes. The only thing that would be better is if it had more of the rice sack like effect where it contours to your whole eye area. This has a pretty thin and stiff heating element and the only softness comes from a very thin cover and the stiff lavender pouch. So I usually end up needed to put pressure in areas that are not making any contact.

The eye mask is comfortable and soothing with a lavender scent.It's also very convenient because you can use a usb as a power source.

I never thought I would like this product as much as I dol. The heat feels great, and I put it on low setting and am asleep before it shuts off. My sleep quality has improved, and my eyes aren't itchy when I wake up. When I do wake up during the night, I put in eye drops and put the heat masks back on and immediately fall asleep immediately. During the day, I seem to be using less drops than in the past.I also have one that heats in the microwave, but I find that is very inconvenient most of the time, as well as it gets too hot, even though I don't heat it as long as suggested.

I have treated this mask like absolute garbage yet it still works. I use it for when I get styes or other ailments of the eye and it works consistently. I wish there were reusable temporary sleeves for the mask itself that could be washed between uses. I have also used the heating element for warming all sorts of small things. Have been using for 2 years with absolutely no regard for its care.

This mask was great for my dry eyes, and I loved the soft velvet-like fabric. Unfortunately the controller stopped working, and I have no way of turning my mask on anymore.

1. Like the overall package. Nice design and it is comfortable having it on the eyes.2. It also works as a "black-out" mask.3. Dry heat, particularly, in cold weather, makes the eyes dryer. Using lubricant eye drops prior to using the mask resolves this issue.4. Would be nice if the cord (for attaching the mask) to power outlet is an option - Left or Right.5. Would be nice if the strap was a bit wider, at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) wide, and the strap material itself is a of better quality.
