eyes of 22 MGD patients in each of three groups treated with a hot towel, EyeGiene, or Blephasteam twice daily (67.0±21.7, 57.7±22.7, and 69.7±22.6years, respectively)

While we do not wish to deter EyeBag users from heating their EyeBags in whatever way they find most suitable, please use your judgement and avoid any method where the EyeBag risks being set alight. BEFORE FIRST USE, HEAT YOUR BLEPHA EYEBAG® FOR 1 MINUTE ON FULL POWER AND LEAVE TO COOL COMPLETELY. Butovich IA, Millar TJ, Ham BM. Understanding and analyzing meibomian lipids—a review. Curr Eye Res. 2008;33(5–6):405–20.The MGDRx EyeBag ® (The Eyebag Company, Halifax, UK) is a reusable silk and cotton mask that can be heated in a microwave for 40 s. Peak temperatures (37.6 °C) may be reached after 2 min of its application on the external upper eyelids. After 12 min of treatment, temperatures may slightly decrease (36.8 °C) [ 16, 17].

The EyeBag should NEVER be exposed to a direct flame. For this reason gas ovens are the least desirable way to heat an EyeBag. Only reheat from room temperature. Further heating a Blepha EyeBag® which is already hot can be dangerous and lead to overheating. Allow the Blepha EyeBag® to cool fully before reheating.
