Hot Compress & Lid Massage Guidance
We will show you how to do the warm compresses and lid massage correctly.
Warm compresses are not suitable for all types of dry eye. Our clinicians can better advise you after the initial assessment.
How It Works
Gentle lid massage helps to encourage the meibum out of the glands allowing them to function normally.
Method
Warm compresses and lid massage can often be ineffective if the glands are completely blocked. So, we will often perform meibomian expression as an in-house treatment to completely unblock the glands prior to asking you to perform the treatment at home.
