What Are Bruder Masks?
Combat Your Dry Eye Symptoms with the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress
Dry eye is a condition that affects millions of people in the United States annually. Dry eye occurs when your eyes fail to produce enough high-quality tears to stay appropriately moist, which can result in discomfort and even cause vision problems. Fortunately, there are remedies and treatments you can employ to address dry eye, including the use of the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress.
What Is the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress Mask?
The Bruder mask is a clinically proven moist heat compress recommended by eye doctors. The ready-to-use mask delivers a safe, effective moist heat treatment. The Bruder mask is heated in a microwave for about 20 seconds. The mask is then placed over your eyes, easily kept in place with a comfortable band. The mask is applied for 10 minutes or as directed by an eye doctor. The Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress is safe for regular or frequent use. The compress is self-hydrating and there is no need to add water. It is non-allergenic and anti-bacterial, and the compress is also reusable and hand washable.
How Does the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress Work?
The patented Bruder mask design is made to open oil glands in the eyelids. This allows for natural oils to flow back into your eyes. The compress works to stabilize the tear film on your eyes. Its use improves oil gland functioning and slows tear evaporation, all very important to combating dry eye. This process relieves the discomfort caused by dry eyes. It also relieves discomfort associated with other eye issues like aging, the use of contact lenses, eye styes, sinuses, allergies and eye distress resulting from the use of digital devices. In other words, in addition to addressing the symptoms of dry eye, the Bruder mask can also be invaluable as part of a healthy eye care regimen
