The dry eye mask, in short, uses electric energy to “heat” up your eyelid and the glands that live there to enhance the oil production needed to prevent the evaporation of the eye’s tear film. Science shows that by applying consistent heat to these glands for an ideal time of an estimated 8-minutes, oil will release into the eye. Once heated, the oil becomes more lucid than its current state to release through the tiny glands and prevent dry eyes.
