Daily signals of ocular discomfort, including simple eye strain, can lead to “vicious cycles” that overwhelm the nervous system. Over time, this process can even contribute to depression. (Refs. A 1-6)
However, positive sensory input may help the body override negative pain signals from the eye region, and restore balance to the system. (Refs. A 7-10)
To fight back against ocular discomfort, we listened to the needs of hundreds of patients, and spent years working on these elements of ocular thermal therapy (Refs. A 11-13):
-
Thermal Consistency of OcuTherm Gel, whether heated, cool, or cold
-
Precise Eyelid Conformation upon virtually any size or shape of face
-
Evenly-Distributed “Presence” of Gel across both eyes
-
Sensory Touch (“Skin-Feel”) of all materials, especially those that directly contact the eyelids and face during use

OcuTherm’s
Suspended-Gel™ Technology
Here are 3 principal features of our technology:
1. Full Sensory Effectiveness. The ocular surface is the most sensitive area of your body, with 10 times the sensory nerve density of your fingertips. To your nervous system, ocular thermal therapy may be considered the rough equivalent of a full-body thermal treatment. This makes it a highly efficient way to re-set your entire system. Treatments can be as quick as one minute, or much longer if desired.
2. Unbeatable Thermal Conductivity. Choose your temperature for each treatment. At room temperature, the mask produces treatments that are cool and settling. With a quick microwave heating, the mask will deliver a steam-bath effect that suffuses your entire eye region. Refrigerating the mask for 5 minutes or more is your entry into cold therapy to a level you prefer. If refrigerated overnight, the mask produces a bracingly cold and rejuvenating “ice-plunge” experience. Heated, Cool, or Cold, OcuTherm users say you can feel your entire body relax into each treatment.
3. Anatomic Perfection. The OcuTherm mask maintains sensory contact throughout your entire eye region, but without excessive pressure on the eyes themselves. What you get is a perfectly balanced experience that respects your ocular anatomy.
We spent years of careful research to provide you with prompt, accurate, and intensive relief, so you can get back to your life quickly and with renewed energy.

OcuTherm® Dry Eye Clinical Study
OcuTherm® Dry Eye Clinical Study
OcuTherm®
Dry Eye Clinical Study
Powerful Symptom Reduction
Results from the 4-week OcuTherm® clinical study are illustrated in the bar graph. All data were published in the journal Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (see Ref. B 1 below).
High rates of user satisfaction, ease of use, sustained heat duration, and use of moisturized heat are the factors most likely to have contributed to the positive outcomes (see Refs. B 2-5 below).
Details and Methods: 30 adult subjects were studied. All had persistent symptoms despite previous dry eye therapy, and were diagnosed with dry eye syndrome related to Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and/or anterior blepharitis. All subjects were provided with OcuTherm kits, and instructed to apply OcuTherm moisturized-heat therapy. Those subjects currently using eye drops and/or oral supplements (e.g., artificial tears, Restasis®, Omega-3 supplements, etc.), were allowed to continue during the study.
Symptoms were evaluated at 0, 2, and 4 weeks using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scale, with the results shown in the bar graph (see Ref. B 6 below). Usage diaries and selected questionnaires were also used.
