Since becoming a contact lens wearer myself years ago, chronic dry eyes and I have quickly become close companions. Exposing oneself for extended periods to computer screens only heightens this disquieting sensation and its reddening of skin. After discussing my dry eye problems with my eye doctor, he brought up this $29 electric eye mask as an effective solution — reviewers also concur. Of course, this wasn’t the first time an eye professional told me how heat could aid dry eye. However, this was the first time an option that was electric without needing a microwave, wet washcloths or any of those other methods that don’t deliver heat reliably was presented to me. Aroma Season eye mask is packed with all natural flax seeds to provide a gentle compressive treatment while being safe and non-toxic, as well as its unique design which fits snugly to fill in awkward gaps around the eyes and nose for greater contact with heat from its heat therapy elements. This mask has also been made slimmer compared to previous iterations, for more precise wear. According to its brand, this model utilizes a graphene heating element which produces deep penetrating infrared heat that penetrates deeply to soothe not only eye dryness but also styes, migraines and more. The attached controller makes controlling any of five temperature settings simple and can also serve as a timer feature, an invaluable safeguard should you accidentally fall asleep with your mask on. My eye doctor suggested that just 10 minutes per day may be all it takes to help alleviate symptoms of dry eye dryness – though results will differ between individuals. To gain further insights into how heat therapy could effectively ease eye dryness issues I also reached out to an eye specialist outside my healthcare provider network. Dr. Anat Galor of Miami, Florida and clinical spokesperson of the American Academy of Ophthalmology revealed that in some individuals abnormalities of Meibomian glands — glands found within eyelids which produce oil for tears — contribute to dry eye symptoms. “One way of treating Meibomian gland health is applying heat directly to its glands to facilitate oil release onto the surface of the eye”, according to Galor. Though I still have yet to try the Aroma Season mask myself (indulgence is my foe here! ), its positive Amazon reviews gave me hope it may work and galor’s explanation why it helps with dry eyes. One reviewer commented on how this mask “saved them”, providing long-term relief from chronic eye dryness and styes; other reviewers have found the electric design superior compared to microwavable or gel options.

Promising Amazon reviews:”Whether suffering from dry eyes or just looking at computer screens all day, or need something to relax them this is a fantastic product!” My optometrist recommended this device, saying he used one himself and loved it; so, after listening to him speak so enthusiastically of its benefits for himself and me alike, I decided to give it a go myself. And what can I say, my optometrist was right in his advice that this made my eyes feel great after using it 1-2 times daily for 15-30 minutes! My eyes felt wonderful afterwards! My optometrist also suggested I do 15 minute sessions. I like that you can set the temperature according to your comfort. Mine gets quite warm for my tastes, so I tend to set mine lower. Also great is the cloth covering, filled with flaxseeds for maximum infrared heating power; three preset timers (including an auto shut-off feature); high, medium and low temperature settings – making for an incredible product experience! Henrietta “This device is ideal for me-time!” — Henrietta At twice the price, this one seemed worth trying – I loved its compact size and convenient design (wherein its cord could go either left or right). It exceeded all my expectations! At first I thought a cordless one would be superior but upon further thought realized they wouldn’t allow any multitasking while using my mask! This one has an easy to read digital readout with on/off button and 5 graduated heat settings which is exactly what I need for optimal use! My experience using it on its highest setting (five) has been wonderful! The material is soft, including its cloth cover (which can be washed for easy cleanup – though the actual devide may not). Highly recommended over microwavable styles! “For years I’ve suffered with dry eyes. Applying heat directly to my closed eyelids helps stimulate eye ducts/oil glands that drain to my eye sockets. Before this small electric heated mask came along I used socks or cloths heated in the microwave which wasn’t very efficient but this small electric heated mask has really proven its worth!” — MarsWhitt “Perfect for taking a nap! Loved it.” — Anita Reed “Saved me. Wish I knew about this sooner! ” Found out about it after watching an eye dr. YouTube video on dry eyes which discussed research that proves heat temp and 20 minute timing as effective solutions against dry eye problems; thus explaining why microwaveable ones do not work as effectively. “They tend to get too hot initially then don’t stay at a steady temperature for long enough, while this one features 20 minute and heat timing! My eyes have severe dry eye with Ocular Rosacea; as well as occasional Styes; however I am using this every night before sleeping and no longer have Styes!” HaloS is one of many doctor-recommended solutions for dry eyes; for more options, take a look at this selection of eye drops and over-the-counter remedies from The National Eye Institute’s Dr. Chantal, preservative-free artificial tears are an ideal solution. Ideally, such tears mimic natural tears without employing preservatives as such treatments provide better moisture levels than artificial tears alone. Refresh offers this 50-pack of eye drop vials individually packaged to decrease bacteria growth, providing instantaneous moisture and lubrication for eye surface moisture loss in windy environments. Also recommended: wraparound sunglasses to shield eyes in windy environments from moisture loss due to exposure. These stylish round glasses from Stoggles feature an innovative transparent protective side barrier to reduce peripheral vision impact and avoid potential injury to peripheral vision. Refresh eye gel offers stronger daytime dry eye relief when traditional drops don’t do the job – perhaps this everyday soothing eye gel by Refresh could do the trick? With nine colors and prescription-compatibility for prescription use and anti-fog coating. Thicker drops may also help coat the eye surface to relieve symptoms such as burning, stinging and redness while providing some comfort during screen time. A microwavable compress may provide temporary relief in between screen sessions for dry eyes during screen time with Dr. Leung’s expertise and advice. Hakop Khurdajian of Los Angeles Optometrist suggests using warm compresses on your eyes three to four times daily for five to 10 minutes as one effective means of relieving dry eye symptoms without using medications. Heat helps open up glands in your eye to promote greater oil flow, instantly relieving that grittiness that often plagues us all. Once heated for 20 seconds in a microwave oven, this washable and antibacterial eye mask provides soothing comfort by harnessing heat-retaining beads to relieve strained and dry eyes.AmazonA humidifier can add humidity back into a room Cousineau-Krieger suggested installing an AquaOaisis humidifier into one’s room or office to increase moisture in the air through cool mist production using its 360-degree rotating nozzle and increase overall hydration levels in your space. Large capacity tank means longer runtimes and three mist modes offer customizable levels of air moisture. A water bottle that encourages you to drink more is key for optimal eye hydration, according to Cousineau-Krieger. Make drinking enough water a priority without forgetting throughout your busy day with this 21-ounce vacuum-insulated water bottle made from stainless steel that’s both odor resistant and shatter-resistant! HidrateSpark Pro’s most impressive feature, however, is its Bluetooth functionality, enabling users to track water intake by setting daily goals or competing against friends via an app. LED sensors at the bottom will signal when it is time for you to take a drink, as well as provide location tracking so you don’t lose your bottle. A high-quality air purifier to reduce potential eye irritants in the air “Try using an effective air purifier in your home to minimize dry or polluted air,” Herz suggested. (Learn more about air purifiers here. ).The Blueair Blue Pure 211+ purifier offers value at an economical price point; suitable for spaces of up to 540 square feet. Utilizing an activated carbon filter, EyeCare uses effective particle collection technology that traps dust, smoke and allergens that may aggravate eye discomfort. Filters designed specifically to capture larger particles can also be machine-washable and feature an indicator to notify when it’s time for replacement of this filter. Omega-rich supplements should only be taken if approved by your healthcare provider – consult an eye doctor first if considering omega-3 fatty acid supplements, according to Herz. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found naturally in fish and flax seeds, and may help alleviate symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome. “While supplements might not be for everyone, this fish oil soft gel capsules is made with carefully chosen ingredients that have been purified to remove potential mercury or contaminants that might linger from production processes.
