Eye Warmers have significantly reduced my dry eye symptoms after 2 weeks. I wish I had found you sooner!
I was skeptical at first, but they really do work. I have struggled with dry eye for as long as I remember… I am so glad I found this product.
Used it this morning, it feels very nice! I like it so much better than a hot wet towel, that never stayed warm long enough. Thanks again!
What Causes Dry Eyes?
There are three important layers in our tears. They must all be present in balanced quantities for our tears to effectively moisturise the eyes. The innermost layer that sits against the cornea is the mucin layer. Next is the aqueous layer. This is made of water and is secreted by the lacrimal gland. It is very rare for this gland to function abnormally.
The layer of tears that is deficient in MGD is the outermost layer. This layer is made of oil, which is secreted by the meibomian glands. The meibomian glands are located in the upper and lower eyelids. Treatment of your meibomian gland dysfunction will help to restore all of the layers of the tear film to a normal healthy state so that you can return to having comfortable eyes again.
What is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of evaporative dry eye. Each eyelid contains a row of meibomian glands. Their job is to secrete the very important oil layer of the tears. In MGD, the secretions from the meibomian glands become thick and viscous so not enough is secreted in the tear film. This creates an imbalanced and unhealthy tear film that is ineffective in moisturizing the eyes and leads to dryness, blurred vision, redness and pain.Clinical experience and reports have found that warm, moist compress therapy is an effective treatment for MGD.
