Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Due to my persistent dry eye condition, my ophthalmologist recommended me to do 5 min compress with towel soaked in hot water twice daily. Of course, owing to the impracticality of this (dripping towel, need to reheat the water/towel every other min. etc.) I ended up not doing it. Once I found this, however, I was able to administer the same therapy in an amazingly practical way. Instead of temporarily relieving the dry-eye symptoms, this product restores the healthy oil secretion in your eye, so its effects are LONG TERM, if not permanent. It is SCIENTIFIC yet simple: the reason why most of us suffer from dry eye is because the oil glands inside the eye are clogged, and those precious oils that prevent the tears from vaporizing are not adequately present. Application of hot water vapor helps unclog those glands, and lets your eye run its self-protection system again. So this product simply restores the malfunctioning part of your eye physiology. (Paraphrasing my ophthalmologist's explanation.) I used to live on moisturizing eye-drops, applying them sometimes several times every hour. (And this is unhealthy, since it gets your eye to adapt to supplied tears, and stop producing enough tears itself). Since I started using this product, I only need to use eyedrops (or artificial tears) a few times a day, if that. Would never expect a 10 dollar product to work miracles, but this one does. If you're looking for a natural and long term dry eye solution, this is it. The product, though washable, loses efficacy after several months of heavy use, and is better replaced. But it's well worth the money, I've gone through 5 compresses in the last 2 years and just bought the 6th one. PS: If you're among the minority of dry-eye sufferers whose problem is NOT related to the oil-ducts, you may ot benefit as much from this product, but at least you'll have ruled out the most usual suspect.
