It consists of a soft cotton pad inside which is a thin hydrogel pack. An adjustable strap with velcro at the ends holds it securely in place, or alteratively you can simply lay it over your eyes while reclining. You can also chill it for a soothing effect. </p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">From <em aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">The Dry Eye Remedy, Chapter 8, "Your Home Eye Spa":</em> "I use a heat pad, called the Eye Spa Pad, that conforms to the shape of the eye; pop it in a microwave for 30 seconds, and it will stay hot for five minutes &#8211; sufficient time to loosen the glands, step one in the cleaning process. The pad also has a soft cotton exterior, which is important since you will be placing it on your face, and the exterior is washable, which is important because you will sweat under the heat, and the pad can become dirty after a number of uses. The pad can also be cooled &#8211; just put it in the refrigerator &#8211; so that you can use it to soothe red, inflamed, irritated eyes. It's thus a multi-use piece of gear &#8211; one that you can re-use time and again."</p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#005fff"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">REBECCA&#8217;S REVIEW</strong></font></p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Overall assessment:</strong> This is a an affordable, comfortable, convenient heat pack. </p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Personal experience:</strong> Like any heat sources used on the eyelids for chronic meibomian gland dysfunction and related conditions you must be very careful not to overheat it. In my microwave it takes about 30-35 seconds but that will obviously vary by microwave. I found that it stays warm plenty long enough do do the job. And one of the nice things I noticed about this is if it is too hot you'll notice it right away since a fair amount of it is resting on the skin away from the eye sockets (forehead, temples). As a bit of a connoisseur of heat packs for the eyes I will also mention that for me personally, this works best if I lay my fingertips on it gently to help it touch my lids more closely. That will no doubt vary from person to person based on differences in one's facial bone structure.</p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Rosacea patients take note:</strong> As you can see from the picture, the spa pad is quite large - and for many people that is a good thing (feels very nice!), however, for some people with facial rosacea, and especially if&nbsp; they have a fairly small face, it is possible that having the heat pad extend over much of their skin can trigger the rosacea. A rice baggy (ours or homemade) may be more practical because it's loosely filled and so you can concentrate it in one part and pack that right on&nbsp;your lids. Also feel free to call our office for ideas about other alternatives. Some people who want "lids-only" heat use the Thermoeyes heat packs or EyeFeel disposable single-use warmers.</p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><em aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Who am I?</strong></em><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </strong>My name is Rebecca Petris and I have had chronic dry eye since undergoing LASIK in July 2001.
