Dealing with skepticism over new recommendations from your eye doctor, like using a warm compress, is normal. 🤔

A warm compress can be a game-changer for relieving dryness, reducing eye fatigue, and improving overall eye health. It can enhance blood circulation around the eyes, ease muscle tension, and improve eye comfort.

Here's how to use a warm compress:

💧 Soak a clean cloth in warm water.
🧼 Gently squeeze out excess water.
😌 Close your eyes and place the warm cloth over them for 5-10 minutes.
⏰ Repeat this process several times a day for optimal results.

If you have any questions, contact us!
