Any idea? thanks.

I think it would work. I read somewhere that the steam of a shower is all it takes... -
I use steam... the weight of a warm compress sticks my eyelids to my eyeballs
... steam doesn't do that, so I love it!
I just boil water in the kettle, then pour it about 3/4 inch deep into a rectangular container (it's about as wide as my face, and maybe 3 inches across)... I cup my hands around it to direct the steam around my eyes... works perfect!

The only thing I forgot to mention... When I first started doing this, I developed a wicked cough from inhaling all that steam every day... finally solved that problem by tying a dish towel around the lower half of my face to cover my nose/mouth (picture those cartoon bandits... that's me!
)... With the towel in place, I can breath in the non-steamy air, yet still let my eyelids bask in the steam.
Never seen anyone else on the forums who uses steam mention that... so maybe it's just me... but thought I'd mention it just in case...Comment
