kimkooMoist Heat Eye Compress&Microwave Hot Eye Mask for Dry Eyes，Heated Eye Mask Natural and Healthy Therapies

My eye doctors suggested this due to some eye problems. I use it every night for 5 minutes and it really helps. I thought the weight of it, which is minimal, would be annoying but it's lovely. It helps my eyes and helps me fall asleep quickly. Highly recommend!

My optometrist is doing everything possible to avoid surgery on my tear ducts. We have tried lots of medications and drops through the years for my dry eyes (so dry that trying a whole series of contact lenses, up to and including hydrophilic ones, did not work and I have to wear glasses). Hot, wet compresses were recommended, so I searched and I found these. They really work! I can blink and feel dampness in my eyes!I use ground flaxseed on a daily basis in cooking, so I am not put off by the smell of toasted grain.Here are the steps I follow, based on reading many previous reviews and on my own thinking:1) I lay it flat on my microwave turntable, strap folded underneath so that none of it is exposed. There's no metal in the strap anyway, but a few mentioned arcing in their microwaves, so I want to avoid this.2) Microwave it on high for 30 seconds.3) I set the timer on my microwave for 6 minutes and carry it back by its strap, along with a tissue folded in half, to my bed.4) I lie down on my bed, put the tissue over my eyes, and then lay the mask on top of the tissue. I DO NOT USE THE STRAP but let gravity keep it on my eyes. The strap just gets flung over on top once I'm settled.5) I relax for 5 minutes (the extra minute on the timer is to give me time to get back to my room and all set up) with the soothing warmth on my eyes. I have stopped doing my morning meditation because this has the same effect! I let go of all my muscles, let the weight fall down into the earth, and just focus on my breathing. A very calming effect, same as when I meditate, and with the bonus of getting to do it again each night so I can relax before I go to sleep.6) When the timer rings, I remove it and carry it back to the kitchen by its strap, while gently rubbing each tear duct with a fingertip. So I could have cut off the strap since I don't use it, but it's how I carry it around.I can't see having to wash the cover very often, maybe just once a month for sanitation, since it isn't exposed to the air or dust and doesn't sit directly on my face while I'm using it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Along with my drops and meds, I am finally getting relief from a lifelong problem.

Not made of microplastics. It’s buckwheat which smells a little at first but I’ve gotten used to it. So I’ll give it a stars.

This has immediately become my absolute favorite Amazon purchase EVER!!! It arrived very quickly & I was excited to use it. I purchased this particular heated eye mask based off reviews & it did not disappoint! I was able to try it for the first time after a long work day & what a relaxing soothing way to enjoy my evening. For me 40 seconds in the microwave was perfect. The heat lasts a long time. The weight to it from the flaxseed is very comforting. So relaxing & comforting I fell asleep with it on & woke up wondering what year it was! I love this mask & plan on using it daily. I also like that the outer part is removable & machine washable & it came with a little dust bag to store it in. If you've never used a heated eye mask you are in for such a pampering treat ya'self experience! This is truly a product I didn't know I needed & now I am OBSESSED!

Works great

This item is so much better than I expected! This really over exceeded expectations. I’m so happy with this. The material on the outside is really really soft and plush and it feels so nice on the eyes. My only downside is I wish there was better instructions because I’m not sure if this is supposed to go in the microwave the whole thing or just the inside. I am just putting the inside piece in the microwave which works out fine

Very soothing. Be sure to experiment with how long you heat the mask. I did mine for 20 seconds each side and it was perfect. I use it twice a day. 15 minutes each time. It retains the temp nicely. It does have fennel seeds in the mask so be sure you like the smell of fennel before you order it

Mom washed mine trying to be helpful.. I cried. This next one is just as amazing as the other. I had this same eye mask for maybe 4 years. Always reliable for a moist heat to relieve my tired eyes, never let me down or caught fire in the microwave. This one has already been used numerous times since being delivered this morning and is just as much of a gem. If you are sick needing relief, if you work on a computer all day, or just need some some really good rest, this is an amazing product.
