February Eye Care Challenge #12: Use a warm compress for 5-10 minutes
👁️ Why Warm Compresses Are One of the BEST Things You Can Do for Your Eyes 🔥
If your eyes feel dry, tired, or irritated — a simple warm compress can make a big difference!
✨ Benefits of warm compresses:
✔️ Helps unclog oil glands in your eyelids (Meibomian glands)
✔️ Improves tear quality and reduces dry eye symptoms
✔️ Relieves eyelid inflammation and irritation
✔️ Reduces styes and eyelid swelling
✔️ Soothes screen-tired eyes
💡 Why it works:
Healthy tears need oil to prevent evaporation. Heat softens the natural oils in your eyelids so they flow properly — keeping your eyes comfortable and hydrated.
🕒 How to do it:
• Use a clean warm (not hot) compress
• Place over closed eyes for 5–10 minutes
• Repeat daily for best results
Consistency matters — think of it as a daily spa treatment for your eyes! 😌
📍Experiencing dryness, burning, or fluctuating vision? A dry eye assessment can help identify the cause and the right treatment plan.
