   <p>I didn&#39;t catch the name, can you share it or a link to it? I&#39;ve had several microwavable masks sitting in my Amazon wish list for a long time but I haven&#39;t purchased them because I just don&#39;t see myself actually using them (two story house, young kids, not a lot of time, etc etc). But I definitely want to try something that could help the oil in my meibomian glands because I&#39;m making tears, they are just poor quality. Thanks for the video! -Ava, CDE team</p>

   <p>This dry eye mask sounds amazing! I also use the Bruder compress daily but find it difficult to take places. I am going to add this to my shopping list. What is it called?</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Anna Samson" user-id="4252208"/> yeah, I like the Bruder mask but it’s hard if you travel somewhere and need a microwave. I got this one at www.dryeyemask.com<br/>It’s really good! </p>

   <p>Hi Amanda, I know you from the other boards on Facebook. I’ve been using this mask for about a year on medium high. I don’t use it daily because I’m just not a fan of heated masks however, the other day when I used it for 10 minutes on medium high I felt like I couldn’t open my eyes like they were glued shut. I tried it again later on in the evening after two minutes had to take it off because I had the same feeling which of course then turned into anxiety has this ever happened to you and do you know why this could’ve happened? </p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Amanda Gaskell" user-id="4236811"/> thank you. Maybe it was too warm. I’m going to try the lower setting and see if it happens. </p>

   <p>I have been suffering with dry eyes for almost 6 years. It has gotten so bad that I was not a le to watch TV or drive. </p> <p>I tried every drop on the market and did every treatment including lipiflow. Nothing really helped me. My daughter got me a Wizard electric heated eye mask and my life has changed. I only used it for one week and I am back to driving and watching TV</p> <p> I felt that I had to share this with the world. </p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Sandraclark1" user-id="8498948"/> thank you so much for sharing this! I have found that heat really helps my eyes feel better. I do it twice a day and my eyes notice if I skip a day. I am glad you are sharing this, someone else may see it and know there is hope! </p>
