The EyeBag is a silk and cotton device that can be re-heated up to 200 times in a microwave. Simply heat for 30 or 40 seconds on full power and the EyeBag will stay warm for up to 10 minutes. For the treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and relief of the following: The EyeBag® can be used as a treatment for sore gritty eyes, dry eye syndrome, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, Chalazion treatment, Stye treatment and Blepharitis treatment.

The Blephasteam ® (Théa Laboratories, France) is a goggle system that produces moist warm air and heats the eyelids through the condensation of water vapor. The melted meibum secretion is favoured by the normal blinking of the patients during the treatment. Temperatures recorded in the outer upper eyelids were between 37.4 °C and 40.0 °C at the end of the treatment, while in the lower ones they were between 37.8 °C and 38.4 °C [ 27, 29].
