Dry Eye Masks

Hi, can you use a dry eye mask if you have had both eyes operated with the Preserflo Microshunt. Had my eyes tested at the opticians and they suggested using one. Surely the hospital would have also suggested it? It’s the thought of putting something warm on both eyes and then the instructions to wipe away tears?

I have spoken to people in the past who have underdone eye surgery and have used a heated mask without a problem. But everyone is different, so always check with the consultant first to make sure it is OK to use.
