I did buy the expensive thing and was very disappointed in it. NOT impressed. It fits very awkward, hurts in fact and the mask did not even out at all. It did not retain heat for very long. How heating above my eyebrow is suppose to help my eye is beyond me. Did not give me a moist heat. I am sending it back.
This product sounds so good. May I know what temperature does it heat up to for the warm compress? I really want to end my dry tired eyes lol. The usual warm compresses is so tedious. Thanks.
"The TearRestore mask is perfect for you! Tedious traditional warm compresses inspired the development of this new mask. The heat pack reaches 47C upon activation and maintains above 40C for at least ten minutes.
My favorite part about the mask is that it reactivates with a kettle. I'm curious if the mask designed with the open eye concept was done for the convenience of being able to wear it on the go or is a desireable component to treatment efficacy? The heat generated by the heat pack lasts about 8 minutes. Is it safe to boil all 3 heat packs at once?
The open eye design was done for both convenience and efficacy! It's a win-win over traditional closed eye masks. Yes, you can save time by boiling all of the heat packs together. Hope the TearRestore mask is helping you find relief!
I was annoyed about having to boil it after use. I waited about an hour one day, and it wouldn’t return back to its liquid form, and it wouldn’t re activate again at all, and I had to send it back.
The mask itself felt great but my entire eye area is now very red. It was really hot when I initially put it on. Should I let it cool down a few minutes before using? I have rosacea and I’m afraid it’s going to make it worse.
Can you comment if it’s advantageous that it has cutouts where your eyes are so it’s not pressing and warming your cornea? I’ve heard that direct heat on the cornea can lead to misshapen cornea or other issues later on. Is that true?
