Blephasteam Goggle Review (for MGD)

[deep_dry_eye]

Just learned of these goggles yesterday and considering my options. I've been using these for the past couple of years on the recommendation of my eye doc at the Mayo Clinic. It seems to work to some extent but I would certainly like something that worked better. http://www.heatedeyepad.com/

I ran across this interesting study on 4 different heating methods although it was performed on one patient. https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/455087

Based on that limited study the Lipiflow was the only treatment that hit the desired temps but the Blephasteam was next closest.

I'm a little reluctant to buy from this vendor and the price they are charging for the replacement pads seems to be a rip off when you look at the Amazon UK price of 14.50 pound sterling. https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=Blephas...f=nb_sb_noss_2

Personally, I tried Blephasteam and I thought it was useless. Using a microwave bead pack (for like $10 on amazon.com) was way more effective.

The value of LipiFLow isnt just the heat -- but also the massaging action to help clear out the glands of blockages.

Hi All. What heated mask is best to purchase? I think one that plugs in is best or something that can keep continuous heat at proper temperature? Thank you.

personally, i found microwave warm compress to just be the best -- you just need to learn the settings of your microwave to find the best temperature.

I'm using the Bruder mask currently and it seems to work pretty well. I plan on talking with my eye doc about Lipiflow in the near future. https://www.amazon.com/Bruder-Moist-.../dp/B01N303YPU

If you look at my post on the top of this page you will see a link to some tests done on various types of devices including the Bruder.
