Warm Eyelid Compresses
for Dry Eyes
Applying a warm compress to closed eyelids for 10 minutes daily to improve meibomian gland function.
How it works
Heat melts solidified meibum (the oil produced by meibomian glands), improving gland secretion and the lipid layer of tears that prevents evaporation.
What to watch for
Use a specifically designed eye mask heated to 40–45°C for best results. A warm damp cloth works but cools quickly. Follow with gentle lid massage.
