Thera-Pearl Eye Mask offers a therapeutic spa-like treatment for a variety of eye conditions, from the comfort of your own home. Developed by eye care professional Bausch & Lomb , the eye-ssential mask is perfect for treating dry eye, blepharitis , sinus headaches, irritation and relieve puffy eyes. Some of the situations that make eyes feel tired (think low humidity or a long flight) can leave the skin around your eyes dry, too. If that's the case, you can benefit from using an eye contour patch (which are often referred to as eye masks). They usually have a cooling effect that feels refreshing, and they feel even better when stored in your fridge or freezer. For those who do not need the extra lipid or those who do not do well on a lipid-based drop, the biggest decision is whether to recommend preserved or non-preserved drops. Clearly, benzalkonium chloride (BAK) should be avoided if possible, but the effects of other preservatives have yet to be studied on a clinical level. The rising trend is to use non-preserved drops, a clinical wisdom without clear clinical scientific evidence. In theory, preservative free formulations eliminate one possible irritant; in practice, many of the new preservatives seem to work well for patients and the formulations are often less expensive.

Patients should always keep airflow away from their eyes to avoid exacerbating dry eye. Counsel them to avoid long-term exposure to ceiling and box fans (especially at night) and to keep the heat and air conditioning in the car at their feet, not in their face.

The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The Regional Committee for Medical & Health Research Ethics (REC), Section C, South East Norway, approved the study (reference: 2014/1983). Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Study design and patients If wearing lash extensions, clean, clean, clean! There are a handful of really great products that help keep those lashes clean and eyes bright!” Conventional therapy for most patients with MGD includes warm compresses and lid massage.

Sowka, OD Following instructions from the manufacturer, patients heated the mask in a microwave for 10–15 s at 700–1200 Watt, and thereafter placed it upon the eyelids. Patients were instructed to never use the device if the heat caused pain. The mask was used once daily for 10–15 min. Eyelid massage and artificial tears Dry eye therapy is often incredibly daunting to patients. Most people are familiar with diseases treated with a course of medication, surgery or a few weeks of palliative measures as their body fights off the untreatable virus. Unfortunately, dry eye tends to be chronic and patients must understand that they are in for a lifetime of care. I liken this new eye care approach to that of their dental care. Without thinking, most of us floss, brush and see our dentist regularly. Similarly, all patients, and dry eye patients in particular, need to care for and maintain a healthy ocular surface over their lifetime.FBUT is one of the most common tests used to diagnose and monitor DED and was chosen as the primary objective efficacy measure in this study. FBUT improved significantly for both groups from baseline, without any difference detected between the treatments. Additionally, our findings indicate that males generally experienced a greater increase in FBUT after 3 and 6 months of treatment (mean 1.33 s and 2.68 s respectively relative to females), suggesting that treatment may be more efficacious in males. FBUT has some limitations 49, 50, 51, 52, 53. Fluorescein itself reduces the stability of the tear film 54, 55 and the scoring of FBUT is not always exact. To this end, a standardized amount of fluorescein was instilled into each eye using a pipette, and the same observer performed measurements at each visit to eliminate the possibility of inter-observer bias. In addition, all measurements were repeated three times during each visit, with the mean value being recorded. Even when applied properly, makeup debris can migrate to the lid and conjunctiva, contributing to dry eye symptoms. Photo: Leslie O’Dell, OD Matsumoto, Y. et al.
