Cool
Use at room temperature for a gentle cooling effect. The thermal cover serves as a blackout shade to aid in relaxation.
Relevant Stress Factors*: Mild headaches, mild tiredness; need to take a short break from work or colleagues.
Cold
Refrigerate as little as 5 minutes for a gently cold experience, or longer for more intense treatments. For example, you can keep the mask in the refrigerator, and take it out when needed.
Relevant Stress Factors*: Fatigue or early burnout; persistent pain from headaches, migraines, or sinus conditions; eye discomfort or itching, such as from allergic conjunctivitis; eyelid redness and swelling, including from acute chalazia**, postop eyelid surgery; need for a non-caffeinated “wakeup call;” hot, muggy days; overheating; hangovers.
Heated
Microwave the OcuTherm mask to your preferred heat level, and mix to distribute heated gel. Place a fresh OcuTherm sheet on the mask, and use the spray to create an intense moisturized heat experience. See “Preparation” video below.
Relevant Stress Factors*: Lousy winter weather; moderate to severe sinusitis or colds; chronic dry eye; chalazia and blocked Meibomian glands**; recurrent eye fatigue, especially from long periods of work; tension, tiredness, and insomnia; difficulty relaxing.
.
Alternating Cold and Heated
Heat and chill as directed above.
Relevant Stress Factors*: Persistent tearing, especially in cold weather or in response to moving air currents; chalazia with blocked Meibomian glands and eyelid swelling or redness; blepharitis with red, puffy eyelid margins.
.
*What are “Stress Factors?”
They are conditions that stress and imbalance your system. You should treat any medical conditions directly (preferably with the help of a medical professional). Our product is limited to offering temporary relief of your symptoms, which may help restore balance to your system.
**How do Chalazia respond to Cold and Heat?
A chalazion (sometimes called a “stye”) is a swelling of the eyelid that is caused by blockage in one or more of the oil glands in the eyelid. This occurs when the glands produce a dysfunctional form of oil that becomes solidified. Heat will help to turn the dysfunctional oil back into a more liquid form, so that the gland can become unblocked. Applying cold will not create dysfunctional oil! Instead, cold is often recommended to reduce swelling and redness in an eyelid that has become hot and inflamed. Many people end up alternating heated and cold treatments for best results.
