After using the heating mask, open your eyes for 1 second, close for 1 second and squeeze for 1 second for a total of 30 seconds. You may have a brief period of blurry vision after these techniques – this is normal, and it means the treatment is working.

My favorite mask is the Bruder warm compress because I find it is both cost-effective and delivers effective moist heat treatment. The Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress opens oil glands and allows natural oils to flow back into the eye.

The patented Bruder mask design is made to open oil glands in the eyelids. This allows for natural oils to flow back into your eyes. The compress works to stabilize the tear film on your eyes. Its use improves oil gland functioning and slows tear evaporation, all very important to combating dry eye.

Use the mask as often as necessary, typically one or two times a day. The Bruder Eye Hydrating Mask will not interfere with other prescriptions or over-the-counter medications. It can be hand-washed as needed and lasts six to nine months, providing helpful and consistent treatments with frequent daily use.

My eyes are blurry after using my Bruder Eye Compress. Is that normal? Yes, this shows that the compress is working. This is caused from the oils released from the Meibomian glands.
