I use a blepha eyebag. It's made of natural materials and goes in the microwave. Very soothing and definitely helps with dry eye and irritation

I use an eye mask called Optase which is very soothing and refreshes my eyes. I heat it in the microwave.

Thank you so much will have a look at that -I get confused with all choice out there these days.

I used one brought from my local Boots, which is good I did buy one off the internet from Amazon but it burst open after a few uses, I have blepharitis and was told to used one twice a day along with Hyabak drops, works good, there are eye wipes you can used as well if your out for the day. I looked at usb ones and found the prices are expensive I did buy one usb one but it would not stay on and got cold quickly, best to check out your local pharmacy and your opticians might be able to give you advice as well. Best wishes

Thanks for reply - interesting what you said re usb one -I had wondered bout those save micro but might rethink & look at last 2 replies recommendations - too much choice & expense these days I get very frustrated with it all. Thank you - appreciated.

Paid £10.99 for Boots one much better made than the internet one from Amazon Eye Doctor.

Hi I bought mine from Specsavers. TBH, I’ve only used it once as I was a bit frightened as I have had 2 Micro Shunts. I’m going to star again after reading all the comments!

Its so hard isnt it just knowing what to do for the best - Ive not got one yet - been trying one my cousin sent me - microwave one that you can freeze as well for cold mask - bit tight on me & tried warm wet towel which seemed ok but cooled bit quick. i really think all this eye pressure/ glaucoma is so hard to deal with in many respects cos scared of doing wrong thing. Really wish you well and hope reading the comments has helped you on your journey.
