GENIANI Microwave Heated Warm Compress for Dry, Tired Eyes, Effective Moist Heat Eye Mask - (Pack of 1, White)

This product was less than half the cost of the brand name, and works just as well. The strap, however, is too small for my big head-no matter, I just lay it on my eyes. The odd thing is it notes a 20 second warmup time in the microwave-maybe mine is slightly smaller, but I leave it in there for 1 1/2 minutes to get anywhere, and it works fine. Overall, very happy with product!

I've been using Bruder masks for years for dry eye. This looked almost the same for much less. I heat my mask for 26 seconds. I tried the same for the geniani. It was barely warm. So I did another 20 seconds. I kept going until the plate was too hot to pick up. And it still wasn't warm enough to create a moist heat for my eyes. I already threw the box away, so I can't get a refund from Amazon. Going back to the Bruder.

My eye dr instructed me to get these for chronic dry eyes . So soothing and helps so much . Great for a spa at home night , can also freeze them for ice therapy !

I like them. I just wish they would stay warm longer. I need them warm for 15 minutes to follow my doctor wishes.

The instructions say to microwave for 10 seconds, WHICH DOES NOT WORK. After 4 tries I found that only after 2 1/2 minutes do they heat up enough. Even then they stay warm for about 7 minutes, not the described 10 minutes. I also found I had to turn them over about half way through because the bottom facing side heated up. By flipping I got the entire product heated. Only time will tell whether they are any good. I actually tried 3 minutes, not good, and one of the bags melted in 1 corner and out came the beads.

The optometrist I go to recommended this particular brand of heated eye compress. The pads fit exactly over my eyes, and it stays warm for at least 10 minutes, which is the recommended amount of time. It can be used lying down or sitting up with the elastic band around your head.

After reading the reviews here, I figured that people are simply overheating the product in the microwave and not paying attention to the instructions, since the compresses (in my experience) never got warm enough to feel hot, much less burn a hole through the fabric. And "moist heat" was a no-show. I followed the instructions, heating for 20 seconds first, then adding 10 second increments up to 1 minute. The eyepatches (tried single and then both together) never got warm enough to feel much on the skin, and if there was a bit of warmth, it faded quickly. I wasn't going to risk overheating it just to set a fire in my microwave. Maybe it's the ceramic beads this product uses, but I'm returning these, since they're not what I was looking for, and will be looking instead for eye masks or spa masks filled with buckwheat, which hold heat and stay warm for much longer than this product.

One minute in the microwave, comfortable to wear while resting
