The original, effective and reusable warm compress to release your natural oils to maintain tear film and ocular comfort.
In both dry eye and blepharitis, the glands that secrete oily moisture to the surface of the eyes are clogged and inflamed. This is known as meibomian gland dysfunction, or MGD.
Methods to treat dry eye symptoms and blepharitis with artificial saline teardrops alone are not enough, since it is the oily layer from the meibomian glands that slows tears from evaporating too quickly.
Eyelid warming is an effective treatment for MGD. The EyeBag is a silk and cotton device filled with flax seeds which can be re-heated hundreds of times in a microwave, and was rated as much more effective than repeatedly heating a washcloth with warm water.
The MGDRx® Eyebag® is a patented medical device in the United Kingdom, and registered as a Class 1 device in the United States.

I gave my eye just under 3 minutes by mistake; will this harm the bag because the next time after 40 seconds it was pleasant to use but didn\'t hold the warmth for the ten minutes, it cooled down fairly quickly.
Different microwaves require different times and power levels. Some people find it best to use a lower power level when heating their EyeBag.
How long do you heat it in microwave. Any other way to heat the bag?
Different microwaves require different times and power levels. Some people find it best to use a lower power level when heating their EyeBag. Start with 30 seconds and increase as needed. Average heating times are 1.5 minutes for customers.
How many times a day should I use this remedy?
Most doctors recommend a minimum of one session lasting 15-20 minutes for greatest benefit. Some patients with moderately severe symptoms use the EyeBag for longer and multiple times during the day.
Is the mask washable? Are there covers available?
A very lightly damp cloth to wipe the surface is all that is advised. If the seeds inside get wet, the bag will not perform how it should. If desired, use a single layer of tissue paper between the eyes and the bag. This absorbs any secretions or discharge and stops the transfer onto the bag. The tissue can then be disposed of after each use.
Is this heating bag good for eyelid cyst treatment? How long should i have it on?
Yes. Try for at least 20 minutes daily for 5 days.
