Eye bag – success

June 26th, 2010

Its not often one would blog yet again about the eyebag, but the reports coming back from patients are just brilliant.

I suffered myself for a short while from a gland problem and my eyes were irritated and red. Washing with Johnstons baby soap was the answer and hot cloths were messy and cooled down quick.

So the answer is the eyebag that you pop in the microwave and give your eyes a real treat.

How it works!

When placed on the upper face, the eyebag gently releases warmth which stimulates the normal glands around the eyes, releasing the body’s own natural oils, giving you instant comfort.

Our eyebag could be just what you are looking for. The EyeBag was created in 2004 by Mr Teifi James, a consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, working in West Yorkshire a patented, CE marked Class 1 medical device registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

The heated EyeBag is applied to the upper face so that the bridge of the nose and both the upper and lower eyelids are covered, will release warmth; stimulating the normal sebaceous oily secretions from the meibomian glands and offering instant comfort.

Watch this video referencing the success of the Eye Bag from a consultant Ophthalmologist.

 

In stock today in both Rathmines and Blanchardstown.

EyeBag soothes Dry, Red-Rimmed Eyes

EyeBag:

  • If tears aren’t oily enough, they evaporate more quickly than normal causing the eyes to feel gritty and dry.
  • In Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, the oil-producing glands in the eyelids are blocked by waxy deposits that don’t melt at body temperature.
  • The usual way of treating this is by using a hot facecloth pressed onto the closed eyelid. However, this can be messy, and the facecloth loses heat quickly.
  • An eye specialist in England invented the EyeBag.  It is a silk and suedex eye compress that is heated up in the microwave and stays warm for up to 10 minutes.
  • It melts the waxy deposits, stimulating the release of natural oils from the eyelid glands into the tears.  Combined with lid massage, this makes the tears more oily, reducing tear evaporation and dryness.  It can be reused up to 200 times.
  • EyeBag users report a reduction in grittiness, whiter eyes, and increased success with contact lenses.
