Many of us are dry eye sufferers. But not everyone is doomed to live with red-eyed irritation forever. We recently discovered that a heated eye mask can help moisten those eyeballs and prevent them from drying out during the day.
Per Dr. Anat Galor, a Florida-based ophthalmologist and clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, previously told HuffPost, abnormalities of the Meibomian glands — the glands in eyelids that produce the oil component of tears — can contribute to dry eye symptoms. “One treatment that is used to improve Meibomian gland health is to apply heat to the glands to help the release of oil onto the surface of the eye,” says Galor.
If you’re looking for dry eye relief, we found a cordless, heated eye massager mask that’s currently $10 off for Amazon Prime members.
The mask gently compresses to massage your eyes with pillowy pads, evenly heats them for warmth relief, vibrates and features a Bluetooth connection so you can stream your favorite music.
Reviewers call it a “magical eye hugger” for relaxation, and many call it amazing for relieving tension headaches and dry eye care. And better yet: This self-care product is FSA/HSA-eligible, so if you’ve got some healthcare bucks to spend, this is a great way to do it.
