Warm Lid Compresses

Step 1: Apply sustained heat to the closed eye for at least 2 minutes. We recommend using an eye wheat bag or mask.

Step 2: Using the pad of a finger gently and firmly palpate along the lower and upper eyelid margins (one lid at a time).

Lower lid - looking up, apply pressure with the finger tip to the lid margin close to the eye lash line. You should be able to feel the edge of the eyelid under your finger tip. Press gently squeezing the eyelid between your finger tip and your eye. Work along the eyelid, which should take about 5 presses. Work back and forth at least twice.

Upper lid - look slightly down and repeat the process along the upper lid. You need to be pressing on the first 5mm from the edge of the lid.

When is the best time of day to do this? Whenever it works for you. Try to create an easy routine. Leave the wheat bag next to the microwave. Heat it while you make a cup of tea. Or before bed. All you need is the warm wheat bag, 2 minutes and clean finger tips.
